That’s a very neat Grob panel. What are those “things” in the top edge of the panel?
It has the same clock as I have in the RH yoke, except that the battery in mine is usually flat 
It is a Flarm display
today in texas 20 degrees centigrade December 10, great weather for flying
then I watched the news and saw what is going on in france and England, son sent pictures from London snowed
Hard to find pictures of the panel in flight. But here is one. 1974 Cessna 182P. We purchased it new at the factory and still fly it. 3rd engine. Flint Tip Tanks. TKS deIce. IO-520 engine. GMX-200 MFD, GNS-480 GPS, Sandel HSI, Garmin 345 ADS-B transponder, SL-30 second Nav-Com, STEC 55X autopilot with altitude preselect, Air Data Computer, Non Garmin Audio Panel, and (of course) an iPad with ForeFlight.

Cessna Citation Mustang owned by our hangar neighbor. We flew with him round trip from Bend, Oregon to Tucson, Arizona. The thing I noticed most is that he set his autopilot for 41,000 feet and on the whole flight the altitude never showed 41,001 or 40,999. I’ve never seen any altitude held so stable. G1000 panel. It was fun looking DOWN at the airliners from a mile above them.

That is a “fake”, implemented in software. It is a standard thing to do with digital readouts on all equipment (put in a bit of hysteresis) otherwise it would be disconcerting to the user.
Mockup of the panel design on the RV-14A we’re building:
Left to right:
The thing I noticed with the TKS installation is that one needs to make room (and keep even more room) for more circuit breakers.
Another thing I noticed was that one homebuilder (a Eurofox, IIRC) put a CB next to each switch, rather than grouping the CBs together.
>>Then there is ADSB-out…I really want to do that and am waiting for some good reports on some stable kit before going ahead.
Hmm with your 530w and the Trigg ADSB out should be installed already? My 430W and the Trigg do it.
Another thing I noticed was that one homebuilder (a Eurofox, IIRC) put a CB next to each switch, rather than grouping the CBs together.
I can see the ergonomic argument for that, but its a pain to install. CBs are a lot easier when you can run a bus bar down a whole row on one side.
