Saw some chatter about flying IFR in Yaks/CJ's. Better have a autopilot. Whilst ruminating about what to stuff in my Blank panels, I poured my favorite CFII in the rear hole and flew a simple under-the-hood mission from Lakeland up to Gainesville, shot a missed non-precision approach on my Garmin and went home, a 1.8 hour flight. What a Bitch! Flipping charts, plates, etc. proved really hard while staying on course. While we were in VFR conditions, there was a gusty crosswind and some mild turbulence. Refolding the enroute chart caused major digressions in controlled flight and prompted recovery procedures every time!
But...there is good news, the new Garmin 695/696 big screen portable could fit nicely in one of those blank panels I have yet to cut.
