What do you consider minimal VFR instrumentation?

I would think (for cross country flying):

Altimeter
Compass
Airspeed
T&B
RPM
Manifold pres
Oil temp and pres
Fuel Gauge
Ammeter
One good radio
Mode C XPDR

A DG would be nice, but do you REALLY need it?
 
Really look at more than the minimun if you plan on doing any night flying. I have a picture of my panel on myplaneonline.com . The only thing different know is I have a Garmin 300 in the radio slot. I am trying to find a place for the HSI. I do a lot of night flying and it is surprissing how dark it gets out west. If you do enough flying you Will get caught on top or something else and it sure helps to know you have enough to get down with. :lol: :lol: :lol:
