When you’re building the perfect plane, you want the best in “big screen” avionics. For your new kitplane, the choice is as clear as glass: the G900X avionics suite, an all-glass panel designed for kitplane builders of the popular Lancair and Van’s RV-series aircraft*. Available through a select group of Garmin-trained aviation distributors, this fully integrated “glass package” puts a wealth of safety-enhancing data at your fingertips.
So does Chelton
Chelton EFIS Systems for Experimental Aircraft



So does Blue Mountain:

Welcome to Blue Mountain Avionics



Based on my experience 5-7 hrs to be safe and proficient VFR focusing on the above mentioned 5%. Couple of hrs sim or FTD or FNPT II
Be comfortable in a VFR Cross country scenario and be able to deal with the various possible failures of the system.
Trust me, you don't want to sit there thinking: what the h@ll is it doing now?
You really dont want to do this in 30-60 min.
Think more $2500-$3000
