DAVIDWH Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 About two hours shop time per servo. Quote
thomas1142 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Posted March 13, 2021 The pitch trim servo went out on me a week ago. I was climbing out at 90KIAS when all of a sudden it pitched up like crazy, disconnected the GFC 500 manually when I got to 70KIAS. I wanted to see how far it would go. When I reengaged the AP it disconnected by itself. I have since replaced the servo, so far so good. 1 Quote

Surprised it pitched so abruptly, thought the system would be smarter than that. Hopefully the next 20 years will be as problem free with the gfc as the last 20 with the BK system. 1 Quote
Davidv Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Posted September 22, 2021 Just to close this out, it was finally determined that I had defective servos. Garmin replaced them and now everything seems to work perfect. 2 1 Quote
