Sorry for the bump but this is the only thread about the Panthera on here!

notable features: conformal exhaust cowling, center pillar windscreen providing high panoramic visibility to the sides, 200KTAS @ 10gph FL80, 200KTAS @ FL120 65% pwr, can run on MoGas, 55kt stall, 1000nm + range w/750lbs useful load, BRS chute standard, as spacious as a cirrus.
I actually do have a purpose for this bump however. If you notice the avionics suite in the last picture, they are using a dynon skyview + garmin GTN 750. The rep states they intend to go with the GTN750 + G500 combo, however as far as I know there is no engine monitoring with this setup. Can anyone confirm if it's possible to integrate engine monitoring with the G500? Or will that require an additional dedicated display?
