carusoam Posted November 3, 2020 Report Posted November 3, 2020 Hmmmm... Was that the Mooney-Mizer product of years past? I think he had a method of adding a trim tab to the elevator and powered it... Otherwise, investing in a new auto pilot may come with that skill... Possibly buying an old BK auto pilot may be a good way to make that happen as well... There are a few KAP and KFC APs coming to market... Best regards, -a-
Dream to fly Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Posted November 3, 2020 I think all I am needing is the small sprocket that is welded on the trim shaft. The rest is magic. I am sure a J model would fit. MY F is almost a J minus the cowling.
Old Chub Posted November 3, 2020 Report Posted November 3, 2020 did you see the posting below from Dan Nephin. You may want to ask if the one he shows in his photos is 12 V. Warren

Dream to fly Posted November 4, 2020 Author Report Posted November 4, 2020 It is pinned.Even better. I was wondering how they controlled the heat. So a simple sprocket with a cross pin design. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

Dream to fly Posted November 4, 2020 Author Report Posted November 4, 2020 You are jonesing for my junk a lot?So if I go with the gfc500 and want trim to be controlled by the AP then I need all that to make it work because Garmin doesn't include that???Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk
N201MKTurbo Posted November 4, 2020 Report Posted November 4, 2020 Not sure I want to give away my treasures. I actually have a complete C4 autopilot from a 79 231. I’m not sure I want to break it up.

Aerodon Posted November 14, 2020 Report Posted November 14, 2020 Joe, The upper & lower sprockets and the chain are included in the GFC500 installation kit for the Mooney as far as I can see? Aerodon
