Some aircraft instruments and radios require 115 volt 400 HERTZ power.  The 400 
is used because the transformers, etc., can be much smaller than with 60 hertz. 
 Check the frequency of the power before you commit to an inverter.

Secondly, circuit breakers take a finite amount of time to react to an 
overload.  They do a fine job of protecting the power wires, but a GPS, 
transceiver, or transponder could go to smoke city before the breaker would 
open.  I would suggest a breaker at the panel, and a fuse right at the unit.  
You don't need access to the fuse when you are airborne, because if the fuse 
blows, the chances are outstanding that the unit isn't going to operate again 
without work.
