4000 plus hours, CFII, SEL, MEL, retired electrical engineer. Built a Sonex with a Corvair engine, which I also built. Flew it to Airventure three times, 450 hours of flight time on it before selling it to a guy in Dallas TX, flew it 950 miles to him. Being 78 and wanting something with more room, I bought an already flying RV-9A and flew it 2800 miles from Yakima back to home in SC on a round-about course. It had steam gauges and after many starts and stops to upgrade the panel decided to put in the Flightview System
