Century 41 Autopilot Question

[sixsixX]

I was wondering if anyone has the Century 41 autopilot in there bird, The mooney i will be getting has this system, and i will have the gps steering off of a 530 as well , Just wondering how it performs and if everyone likes the operation of this model, just looking for some feedback as ive never used a century 41 model autopilot. Thanks !

The 1980 J that I have owned since October '08 has the Century 41 in it, and it is a stellar performer. I drive it with a 430W and a Century GPSS and couldn't be happier with the system. It is smooth, flies a true course and doesn't require any re-sets after initializing. After installing the GPSS, we could not get a glideslope intercept and sent it to Century. Thety fixed it in a timely manner and charged me, I think, ~$200. The addition of the GPSS is one of the best things you can do if you want to fly regularly with the autopilot and make GPS approaches; Century makes one specifically for this autopilot.

Thanks for the info, and good to hear. Iam adding GPSS to it off the 530w and i agree its one of the best additions.
