It is that too, I am considering redoing the dashboard and real estate is precious indeed. Also, I think the AI a "nice to have just in case" but as said I am not really supposed to ever need it, so I am not going to spend a 1000 euro's on it - even at today's prices that amount will buy me gas for many hours of flying.
But above all, it seemed a nice occasion to heat up my soldering iron and do some jolly tinkering.
