I remember reading the thread about Glass v Old dials and many people kicked up a fuss.

If technology makes it easier why use the old 'traditional' ways? Cars over the years have become easier to drive ... nobody double clutches anymore as transmission boxes have become more advanced.

As the above post, this is possibly the same route as I'll be looking at. The more I read about EAA and their fleet of Diamonds I am quite tempted to use them for my FAA licences/ratings and then convert to JAA back in the UK with a school like Stapleford who operate DA42's in order to give me the best chance possible of a 1st time pass.

I guess the downfall would be if an air taxi operator offered me a job flying a Piper Navajo with old fashioned instruments
