I agree on the blue lights... regarding the screens... you can either buy the
harnesses or make them yourself... then it's just a matter of plug and play.
You will still have to run your sensors from the engine compartment to the
screen harnesses, but you have to do that no matter what. The real treasure in
these screens is the ability to do data manipulation of your flight. Fuel
calculations and usages, performance and other parameters of flight. In my case
there is also the cheap addition of an autopilot which when fully set up will
be priceless.... another advantage is weight reduction and space savings. My
screens are less then 4" deep. Then there is the weight... an artificial
horizon weights more than all of my screens combined. The backup battery for
the screens is a small Duracell that fits just about anywhere and is good for
about two hours depending on which one you buy.
As Larry would say, your results may vary.

Now you’ve got me wanting a glass panel in my KR2! Would you think it’s easier
or harder than steam gauges to install?
Oh, and Joe’s comment about blue lights for night flight: Blue seems terribly
bright in a cockpit that’s all red and orange. I have a USB that plugs into my
Cessna’s lighter that is blinding blue when charging my tablet. My KR will
definitely have rheostats for every light in it!

Just wanted to share a photo of my panel. I just finished it yesterday and will
be installing back on the airplane today. After this, it's on to taxi test...I
posted a video with the update on Rand Robinson's Facebook page.
