    I love the amount of equipment options we have for the Dukes, but I must say, they feel slightly limited still.

    What I'd really love to do is be able to use, say - two GTN650s, the Bendix WX Radar, and maybe the ADF unit and such. I think my main complaint is just the fact that you can only have one of each unit - I've seen a few panels with two GTN650s or GNS430s, and even one with two GTN750s to replace all equipment including the weather radar.

    Also, the KNS-80 would be very cool, I really enjoyed using it in the TBM850 and especially now since the AP can now follow the virtual VORs in NAV mode, I think it would be super cool to use.

    I probably sound really picky, but also it would be nice to be able to remove the ADF/WX Radar and KNS-81 entirely to replace them with something else.

      I would also like to see two GTN750s. The audio panel is redundant with the GTNs anyway, so I think there would be enough space.

        @SomeoneCalledRay I've seen people ask for the KNS-80 instead of the 81 that we have in the Dukes. Why would you need that? What I found on the topic seems to suggest that the units function identical, just that the 81 doesn't include DME readout and must be paired with external DME display (that is included in the Duke).

          @Randolf KNS-80 Is bigger, I believe older, and worse. More fun.

            @SomeoneCalledRay well from what information I could gather from reading about the real unit, the only functional difference is that 81 doesn't present DME information - the distance to the set up waypoint. That's probably also the reason the 81 display is smaller in size.

              @Randolf I just think, since it's already been made, it would be a nice customisation addon. I'd like to be able to remove the ADF and KNS-81 personally anyway (like I said, dual GTN750s would be awesome).
