A retractable Legacy with its own avionics suite

Aerobask’s XP12 Legacy RG represents a 310 hp IO-550 aircraft with an Avidyne EXP5000 display and DFC90 autopilot. Its documented instruments also include a VM1000C engine monitor, oxygen controller, angle-of-attack display and MD302 standby unit. This cockpit uses Avidyne equipment, unlike Aerobask's G1000 installations in other aircraft.
