No, I'm building an RV-14A. Yes, it has a guidance panel (LNAV, VNAV, et al.) driving a 3-axis autopilot. Dual G3X screens, GTN750 GPS/Nav/Comm, G5 backup, etc. Very well-equipped and all glass.
I think that’s what it’s going to take and the last guy I knew who bought one spent 165K.
I have a bit more than that in it before paint.
