Is there anybody who is going to install or who installed already an EFIS (like the Dynon) without an analogue backup of primairy flight instruments?
I will have no analog inst. , gonna have the Dynon , prolly the small one, MAYBE one for the copilot.. Mine is for cost AND primarily weight savings. Can leave several POUNDS at the curb.
There are those that prefer to have redundant everything however. The older I get and the more I fly, the simplier I like my airplanes. My Champ has 4 instruments and the only two I look at really are the oil temp and pressure. That airplane has almost 5000 hrs and has been all over the U.S. MANY times. There WILL be differing ideas on this however.

Like John I have a Champ. You quickly learn that your eyes and ears provide you with most of the info you need for safe VFR flying. In my opinion, most VFR pilots do not pay enough attention to what is happening outside the cockpit.
That said, I'm likely going with a single EFIS and separate EIS. In addition, I have a Garmin 296 portable which has an excellent Flight instrument display. Makes a great backup to your EFIS and is battery powered.
