I assume it's the main control electronics for the autopilot which in my plane is located in the baggage compartment. The one I had sent to Sanford, FL for checkout has a bad internal board. The folks there have been looking for a replacement but have, at least to this point, not indicated they have located one. Sooo...I'm asking you guys if anyone knows where such an animal can be had in workding condition. I fly an Aero Commander 680 FLP, N91ES, out of Destin, FL, but the autopilot has been inop since I took over the flying from another pilot. I've finally persuaded the owner to at least have a technician look at the thing so we can find out what's wrong. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.
