Can any that have one make any comments on the Trutrack and Trio units? Single and dual axis configurations.

It is great, especially since it is linked to either my GARMIN 430W or 496 via a selector switch. I give it two thumbs up! Have you considered a DYNON unit with autopilot? Just buy the servo's and you are good to go. I hope to eventually replace my system with the DYNON one IF the "cash fairy" ever smiles down on me. :o) Galin N819PR On Thu, Nov 5, 2009 at 2:08 PM, wrote: > Hey guys, > > > I am removing all my Blue Mountain stuff and evaluating Autopilots that can > be installed in the plane.

Cheers Mike ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 11:37:13 PM PST US From: Mark Kettering Subject: KIS-List: Lycoming O-235 engines If anyone is interested in using a Lycoming O-235 engine is a TR-1 I have 3 for sale! The first is a straight mount O-235 with about 2400 since new and all log books from new. The last log book entry has the engine certified as airworthy from an IA. Of course this is the rated TBO of the engine but can be used as is on condition or overhauled. This is a very low budget way of having a real aircraft engine that is perfect for the TR-1 at just $2300! The second engine is a dynafocal mount O-235 L2C with a 125 hp sparrowhawk high compression conversion. This also has log books and has about 500 hrs since a field overhaul with sign off by an IA. I think this is the first overhaul but have not checked the log books. The price is $5500. The third is a brand new never opened dynafocal mount O-235 L2C! This engine is sealed from the factory, factory preserved for long term storage and stored in a climate controled area. This engine was to be used in the second airframe of an LSA I designed but the company went under. The Lycoming price with manufacturers discount was $19,900! I would like get $14,500 for this engine. All three engines are in Stuart, FL.
