Why do you need more than one HSI?
I don't need more than one HSI, but I find more than one CDI useful, for the reason explained in an earlier post.

The other "gubbins" can be hidden by pressing the PFD soft key, then pressing BRG1 and BRG2 as they cycle through their display options.
Yeahbut ... you don't actually want to hide the ILS, because you're going to need it in a minute when you've tracked out far enough from the NDB. In a conventional aircraft you just switch your attention to a different dial, you don't have to mess around pressing buttons.

I'll have it sussed in a few years.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Maybe I'll stick to flying the older aircraft.

Nobody has answered the question ... is it cheaper than the standard kit?
