Great battery advice. I learned this years ago but it's nice to hear it passed along to people who might never have learned it.

I'm glad you appreciate the educational value :) Thanks for watching!

Lets stay with steam gauges. Youre flying to fly.
If you wanna watch tv screens get a simulator. Its cheaper but it sure aint flying

Steam gauges are great if you're after a classic retro look, and they're cheap! But at the end of the day, it's a personal preference.
Going digital makes more sense to us because we can pull data off the panel in real time and feed it to our autopilot computer as a secondary data stream :)
