My wife much prefers the heated seats, same here. Besides, I'm a little more nose heavy that most, which would reduce the issue. Nice to see that manufacturers are paying attention to the experimental market....

I have never seen or heard of anyone other than Trutrak that ever had a yaw damper installed. This has been a discussion many times at Oshkosh RV-10 Headquarters and other RV get together. I have yet to know anyone has that installed one. The consensus was it was not a needed Item at all and would be a waste of money. This was from most people that had been flying their 10's for at least a year or more. I would be interested to hear how many people actually have the Trutrak or some other yaw damper installed in the RV-10. Since Garmin just came out with theirs I would say only a few Garmin have been installed in aircraft for testing.

Personally, I would not spend the money and add the weight. It's not something that you NEED on an RV-10, but, I do notice in turbulence that it can wag it's tail. I just use my feet then to keep it more stable. But, if you have the one in a hundred wives who just can't stand any waggle, then it is something you may be interested in trying. So, while I would never justify it for myself, and I would never recommend someone buy it BEFORE they fly their RV-10 for a while, I can see that there may be the occasional person who could benefit from it. So, if you think you need it, after flying, go ahead. If you're not flying yet, I'd say hold off and gather some good experience first.
