Advanced autopilot functions

[Devin]

Hello Dynon. This may seem a little over the top but if you're going to go big....go big. How about an auto throttle for the autopilot?

I see you have Vnav on the list of future updates. If you could install servos for the throttle and/or prop pitch, controlled via the RPM/MP indicator with pre-set power settings for climb, cruise at different percentages, and decent you'd have a truly automated system. All the required information is already in the system.

On another note...any plans for ILS loc/glideslope capture for the autopilot?

Do you like to fly, or just push buttons?

Thanks for the link Tom. I love to fly buy like most who are installing EFIS I also like to push buttons. Flying IFR however the more the autopilot can do for you the more you can concentrate on other things. Hopefully the feature of autothrottles will be considered. For now I'm very happy with what I see so far. Can't wait to "Go Fly"

I also agree, I'm excited about the features I see and hear about that will be added in the near future.

Now I need to sell my D100.
