Yes I guess I should have given you my philosophy on my panel. First this is a VFR only panel. Second, I am an old school steam gauge guy. The only reason I added the D6 was for the ADI display and it makes a nice backup for the other flight instruments. My panel and electrical is being designed so that if I loose the DC power from the JD dynamo or mre likely the voltage regulator then I can isolate the power buss so all the battery needs to power is the coil and lighting. The weight is what it will be and I will deal with the penalty by some other trade off.
