I have flown behind a Dynon in several RVs and have it in my panel. Fast flight, slow flight and anywhere in between it is rock solid steady. This is a unit I am very, very familiar with. Sid, and others, the Dynon unit, just like an artificial horizon does not have to be "certified" for IFR use. The FARs list the required equipment performance appropriate for the ground facilities to be used for IFR flight. The old vac instruments contained within the solid state Dynon do not have to be TSO'd instruments, and accordingly the Dynon does not have to be either. Sid, I'm not picking on your comment just want to get the correct information presented. Stick a Dynon in and you are legal using it in the IFR environment.....................now, is a KR an IFR airplane..............that's a totally different subject. As for backups.................put a Trio Avionics EZ Pilot autopilot in for under $1000 that has functions of a wing leveler, a electrical system off Aeroelectric.com using battery buss, main buss and essential buss, internal battery in the Dynon and pitch the old steam gauges out the window. Lots of things have to go wrong all at the same time...........................in IFR for you to have your ticket punched by the big ol ATC guy upstairs.
