Take a look at the RV12, which has some sort of certification in the LSA category. It has NO "steam gauges". I kept my Airspeed as it is the most critical (in my opinion). I have a IFly720 with a backup battery, a Dynon D10-A with a backup battery, and an AnyWhere Map Quadra with a battery. So, I think I am covered.
The reason I don't have a "WET" compass is because they are very in accurate unless you can get them installed in exactly the right place, and then, I am not sure. The Dynon remote compass is the most accurate that I have ever seen. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt.

That is a new one on me. I'd love to see his/her written justification for this. I've not seen this required on other experimental aircraft.
