Thanks, Chris. I have not seen it powered up, but I am assuming that the electronic display (top center) includes the attitude indicator. It must be there, because the two switches just below the airspeed indicator are labeled Autopilot and Alt Hold. I was surprised to see that on a plane this size.

What a lovely machine, Jim!  The instrument panel looks very clean and new, although 
lacking an attitude indicator (assuming it’s not a mini glass cockpit ;-)).

I also spotted the Jim-selfie in the right-hand mirror . . .

I spotted a beautiful man-toy at the airport this morning, a Van's RV-8 in 
military colors.  The owner had gone off to the Beechcraft Heritage Museum, so 
I took an opportunity to get a few shots.

I also thought the panel was neat, so grabbed a shot, which I see included a 
selfie in the upper right mirror.
