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?

nice video of them demoing spin recovery
