It is a digital box... The only thing that failed on mine in 26 years was a light bulb... Probably some not so nice things as well... Servos start to show wear OHs aren’t low cost... lots of hours to install... Nice to add... Altitude target... GPSS... Left over question.... How would the old AP get tuned for being installed in the new 2it plane? PP thoughts only, I have a KAP150 in the O1... A new GFC500 would be a moderate improvement, and reset the clock on all the wear... all the tuning is done... any issues, you won’t be fighting alone... Just think what the cost of not putting an AP into a DA40 was... their community lost a cornerstone to ours.... Go MS! PP thoughts only, not a mechanic... Best regards, -a- Yep the whole idea was to help a friend install an autopilot with altitude hold at a cost he was comfortable with. He had a friend who was going to let him help with the install. The deal fell through. Thanks for your comments! 1 Quote
