I am planning a full G3x IFR panel. But I was wondering what is the minimum I can get by with for VFR phase 1? This will be after 2020 so I will need the new transponders.

Hello John,So i will need class C and D capability if not during phase 1, then shortly after.
And I would like to not have to redo the panel when I add IFR capability.
So one GDU 460, gtr20 remote radio, gmu11 magnetometer, gea24 engine interface. GTx375 for transponder and navigator.
Will this be enough?
So i have to autopilot servos already installed. Can I control them thru the G3x or are they dead weight until I add the autopilot controller?
I was going to use the GTN 650 as my nav source so I get VOR capability, but I could also add VOR using a second com/ nav radio. Not sure which way is better.
Also, I think the GTN 650 requires a panel mod because it is so long.

Good point having the VOR on a separate box. I was really set on a gtn650, but you are right, it would be better to have a second com/nav, and cheaper too. I wish there was a remote version.

Hello Tim,Is the only way to get the FD function through use of a dedicated controller? I am looking at an install that does NOT include an autopilot but would like to have the FD functions. I use autopilot in my flying job....I like hand flying but guidance would be nice.
