Harry:
I did the same as you. I can dampen out the hunting by adding some aileron
trim bias to one side. (Turn manual aileron trim as far as it will go to on
e side.) The load on the control helps with hunting.
Gary:
There is a thread on VAF about the motor replacement.
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=38078
I recommend reading post #5. It says almost any motor can be used as a repl
acement but stated that the Micromo was the longest lasting. There is a lin
k to a less expensive item on eBay.

GV,
The same thing happened to me on the way to OSH two years ago. I bought a T
rio head while there and installed it after I got home, using the old Navai
d servo. The Trio works OK and has some features that were not available in
the Navaid, but it has an annoying tendency that I have never been able to
trim out of hunting back and forth around the GPS course. If I could have
obtained a new motor for the Navaid I would have gone that way and been com
pletely satisfied (until it died again). The Trio folks insist that the pro
blem is because the servo is mounted under the passenger seat, just like yo
urs, and that they highly recommend mounting the servo in the wing tip. Bot
tom line is you will probably be happy if you go with a Trio and use the ol
d servo like I did, and just as happy if you find a replacement motor.

I have two NAVAID control heads (one I got as a spare) and a servo that I r
emoved from my RV-8A. I replaced it with a Dynon Skyview and Autopilot.
I have been planning to put them on EBAY, but haven=99t gotten around
to it.
Are you interested?
Thanks,
Tom

that one of the Navaid people (Horace, I think) was the last to do the repa

Is the right solution to go with the Trio head and keep the Navaid S1 servo
or replace the whole enchilada?
Comments from those who have gone thru this would be most helpful.
