But I actually recommend going with the Trio. In my experience it has been very useful and works much better than the Navaid ever did. I do get some minimal hunting while on GPS flight plan (servo is in wing at aileron bellcrank), but when using GPS course as guidance (a ground course as opposed to trying to stay dead center of the flight plan) it is rock solid and there is no hunting at all. I find that is the way I usually fly anyway, as I am always making deviations for airspace or traffic or what-not anyway and never bother to fly all the way back to the flight plan path.
