While I’m nowhere near selecting or installing what will go into my panel, the Dynon Skyview HDX is a strong possibility once I get to that point. I saw an article in Aviation Consumer that discussed installing an STC’d HDX in a Cessna 172, along with other gear for a total cost of $42K. That included labor, radios, and a couple of Garmin items, so it wasn’t possible to separate out what the HDX install itself cost.

Would you you mind sharing your costs for your VFR-only installation? It’s exactly what I’m likely to be doing in a year or two, and I’d like to plan for the costs of this part of the build.

Also, what other gear needed to be purchased beyond the HDX itself? I’m thinking about things like engine sensors, magnetometers, etc.

Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated!
