The G5’s work well in a Piper panel with the plastic trim as can be seen above, If you want to have the units look that good in a panel that has no plastic trim then you need to budget for a flush Mount.
Finally got the invoice for my dual G5 + Trutrak installation..
Given that G5 in DG/HSI mode provides no rate of turn indication, I’d assume it would still apply.

(2) For installations in aircraft approved for IFR operations:
(a) If the G5 is installed as the primary attitude indicator, the existing rate of turn indicator must be retained.
(b) If the G5 is installed as the rate of turn indicator, the existing primary attitude indicator must be retained.
Is this also applicable for a dual G5 install?
28hrs on gfc500. Thats fast. Ok aircraft was already open but anyway all this job at 100hrs is good.
I hope I can add some data on dual g5 and trutrak install cost next week . My GTR225A and Trig-TT31 install were 800EUR each.
The GTR225 install seems pretty good value, it’s not much more than the purchase cost of the radio.
I removed my vacuum system, put in two g5’s and a gfc500 and saved 3lbs. so pulling a load of gyros and switching to g5’s should see some good weight savings
Real cost of an avionics upgrade (in the DC area) :
EDM830 install : 5600$
GMA350 install : 3400$
Dual G5 install : 7900$
GTR225 install : 2200$
GFC500 install : 12000$
Pitot static check : 150$
He saved 60lbs (!!) in his IFR Archer.
He could remove his turn indicator. Maybe it is because of the second G5 ?
I can’t find it in the G5 install manual (as quoted above by ultranomad).
