Upgrading to a two axis autopilot

[kirkgroves]

Sorry for the possible silly question but if you have a D-100 with the latest firmware what is the cost of adding the autopilot? Do you just buy the servos or do you need the AP74 as well?
Thanks!

You just need to buy servos, at $750 each.

The AP74 is a convenience item- it makes the AP easier to control but is not required to make it function.

Awesome!! So all control of the AP is off the bugs then? Or once the autopilot is connected you have controls via the soft keys?
Thanks again!!!

You toggle modes with the soft keys through the menu system; and ALT, HDG, and TRK modes do follow the bugs settings. Take a look at any of the EFIS users guides here for a fuller description of how everything works.

Also, if you have an HS34 you already have 80% of the functionality of the AP74 using configuration setup.
