Passed the 1-9 last night

I do apologize, btw, that the I9 requires a jet. This is a hangover from the design of the pilot training program when it was geared towards the VATSIM audience. The VFR program has been redesigned and will be released relatively soon. The IFR program will have a couple of ratings changed to reflect the needs of the PE audience. There's no reason we have to be pushing you into a jet, that's a mistake in the current I9 design.

Chas, the specific avionics shouldn't matter a great deal. I've flown the I-9 in an F-86 Sabre with VOR/DME. If you can track a radial, then the I-9 is doable.

Thanks Keith...
