That looks fantastic !!

Dealt with the FAA much? I've given up trying to deal with them on simple field approvals that a few years back would have been easy. The other 2 autopilot players have the same story regarding the FAA. I've been waiting on the approval for a cessna 150 approval from Trio, its pushing 2 years...

A few years ago I had rapid RPM spikes occasionally. P leads were new, connections all checked, nothing. Then I lost a mag. It ran rough with both mags, and I noticed the rpm was really all over the place (over redline which the engine wasnt) I couldnt find anything suspect inside the mag...

Bingo. An we all know what pace the gubment works at

I noticed a M20J and a Piper Arrow in the panel pics page, both with autopilots.. In Australia, And I thought they were the strict ones :D

It is, Im installing one now in a neighbors Mooney. I know of a few others already flying on social media outlets, and love it. It does what the dynon does minus VOR/ILS, whch to me isnt that big of a deal. I insalled one in a 172 last year and he couldn't be happier with its perfromance

Still here..

Its only one company that is full steam ahead. It’s not just Dynon, the other avionics companies deal with it also, they cant get anything done in a reasonable time frame. Go look at the STC’s each company holds and the time frame. I’ve been working for a year to get a field approval for my...

Just to further my believing G and the FAA are in bed with eachother.. (look at which big investment firms owns G, and trace that back) The A/P just got approved for the Beech T34 Mentor I maintain and fly for a friend ,126 total flying I believe (A,B,and C models combined). That project...

Venting.. Modern Autopilot are not that complicated, the experimental world has had garage builders successfully installing them from dynon and others with pretty good results, theres little to no statistics to warrant an autopilot are a hindernace to a safe flight. I cant help but wonder...

Waiting on the mooney cert also. I spoke to a DAR last year and he walked me through the FAA order to educate me on what the FAA has made off limits to anything outside of an STC. One company has 239 individual airframes approved and counting at a really good rate, something seems fishy to me...

After the swap, I'm curious of your side by side pirep (excluding autopilot) of the 2 systems. Its a shame they can't make better progress, gotta love our governemnt disfunction

Yes, normal. I was told you can slip a small oring over the shaft / below the knob and induce some friction. I just haven't tried it yet

Are you going ? lets meet up

Does it indeed only save data from one stall? I've calibrated mine a few times now with no changes.
