S-TEC 30 w/G5 Install

[Nic_S]

Recently had Dual G5's and a GNC 355 installed, but haven't been able to locate the STEC DWG #0570 that depicts the reconfig of the STEC-30 to accept he DC inputs.  Does anyone have the Drawing and willing to share?

I had a similar issue last summer, same setup except I have an STEC-50 (very similar autopilot).

STEC said those drawings were proprietary, and would only share them with a dealer/service provider.  I drove my autopilot to the closest dealer.  $110 and took about 45 minutes.

That is what I have read, I seen a few people had the drawings on the Beechcraft sight but haven't heard anything. I believe my mechanic is coordinating something with a local Stec dealer this week. Hopefuly have my bird back this week!

You’re gonna love it!  Everything works better now that the STEC is getting a clean, digital signal for heading and GPSS.  And the GPS/GPSS combination is so slick it will fly holding patterns and entries with ease.

(Others here will say this is actually pretty old technology- but it’s new to me in my old Mooney!)

I look forward to it! I was limited as my home base only has RNAV, could leave IFR but couldn't return.
