Minimum Instrument Panel - Experimental VFR?

What would be a reasonable minimum instrument panel for an experimental VFR aircraft?

Two heads are better than One...


Dynon skyview or similar EFIS/Engine combo

Clock (mandatory)

Hobbes

Compass, Magnetic

Altimeter

Airspeed

VHF

Transponder

Garmin 496 ( overkill if skyview nav avaiiable? )

Loss of a Skyview means:

1. No engine instruments.

2. No voltmeter.

3. No fuel gauges.

Therefore land ASAP? Could one continue to the next destination? I suppose so. Could one take off from there without engine instruments assuming fuel calculations were done? Would that be legal if the engine "sounds right" on a mag check?
