Hello

I am a Instrament rated Private Pilot and would like to see if anyone can build my plane and panel that is in my plane with all my avionics.  I have a 1968 Mooney M20C with a newley upgraded Garmin GNS 430W.  I would be able to provide actual equipment and pictures of my plane and panel.  What might this typicly cost?  I dont have time to learn how to do it myself and want to have an accurate plane to help with practice IFR.. It would not be loggible but it would still be good to help stay fresh.  Please let me know... Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

This is Dbarrington1/2  Got locked out and the reset PW email link just said invalid ID... So back to my question

Thanks for the answer... It seams this company you listed does major projects for aircraft builders that want to resell to its customers.... I got the impression they are WAY to pricey for a guy with a 1968 Mooney M20C to have his personal airplane recreated.... I would be happy with tweeking the M20J that I found and downloaded before with my panel and maybe changing the cruise data... I just want it to have the panel I have and look like mine so I can then work on some hardware to mock the controls of the GNS 430.... (trying to mouse over and change knobs just does not work when trying to fly an ILS)  So any hobbiests that love the building and creating of these planes like to make a couple hundred to do this... i would want to have a trial to make sure it worked well.  THen I dont care if you give or sell it to 10000 other people... LOL  I just want something accurate for staying current... (not legal but proficiant... above legal mins)
Thanks
