Mark,
I did say I would get rid of the engine instruments. Id need to think
seriously and do some planning but off the top of my head I would keep AH,
HI, ASI, VSI, & ALT, Autopilot, but happily dump instruments I would class
as "none essential" such as EGT, Water and oil temps. After all if the GX2
did blow a fuse I would be relatively happy ending a flight without that
info. Probably opens up a big debate but no different to using the other
electronic engine monitoring systems.
Regards and how's the building progressing it would be great to see another
Subaru in the air.

Hi Kevin,
Wouldn't it be worth while keeping some of the analogue instruments as
backups. Although I'm sure the reliability history of the GX2 is good,
there's always a first time. Even something as simple as a power lead break
would take out all engine instruments if you only had the GX2. I have
looked at the GX2 and like what I see (I saw it at a show a while ago), but
if I fit one, I'll fit several tradiotional instruments as well - ASI for
sure.
Cheers,
Mark.
