Graziano) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:23:42 AM PST US From: "Bill Schoen" Subject: Re: Avionics-List: autopilots Dennis Have you considered the Dynon AP which sounds too good to be true especially if you are using the Dynon D100 for your primary instrument package. It won't be out until the fall apparently but they are now accepting orders I believe. I agree the an AP is a must have item, particularly if you plan to do much IFR work with it. These airplanes are such good cross country machines, an AP for about 3 grand ($1,500 for the fancy Dynon AP76 and $750 each for 2 servos) is too good a tool to pass up even on a nice sunny VFR day. If it works as good as the rest of their stuff supposedly does.

P-1000 Digital Engine Tachometer. It has a 6-pin connector labeled "Amphenol 14S-6PF". Does anyone have a source to buy a matching connector to build its hardness? Also, anyone has pin-out for this unit? Thanks in advance. Robin Hou ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:21:05 PM PST US From: "T. Graziano" Subject: Avionics-List: Re: autopilots I have been using a Trio EZ Pilot II in my Zodiac 601XL for 374 hours. Never a problem. EZ to install. Works as advertised and would do it again. I would highly recommend an AP. I can have the data stream sent to the AP either via my GPS296 or via my BM EFIS via a switch on the panel.Tony GrazianoZodiac 601XL; N493TG----------------------------I've convinced myself that an autopilot is now a 'must have' item.
