Im looking to add one too..... But it appears TruTrak is no longer making them? I need call around and get the real story. Ideally Im looking to run the YD independent of the AP so I can keep it on while hand flying around too. Ive had a sick little girl in the back seat a couple too many times. Hopefully I can find a way to make it easier on her and keep her experience from going down the tubes before she gets much older. > On Sep 17, 2019, at 10:13 PM, Charles Derk wrote: > > > Why are you considering it now?

We're switching to a G3X. That's another thread but since it would include the AP, I'm considering the yaw damp option as well. The Garmin mounting solution looks pretty easy, even as a retrofit, so it's now or never. Just wondering if anyone has a great reason to add it, or not.

I can't comment on the Garmin product. I chose to retrofit a yaw damper to my Dynon autopilot. Definitely nice to let Otto keep the ball centered. The mount would be a little easier to install before the tailcone is closed up. There was a discussion awhile back about using Van's mounting and seems like you could either use Dynon or Vans part instead of Garmin for some money saving. Search archives circa summer/fall of 2017, either here or VAF .. Sent from my TRS-80 Model 100 On Tue, Sep 17, 2019 at 8:38 PM Phillip Perry wrote: > > I=99m looking to add one too.....

Dave, I don't think you need to think of it as now or never. I know the Dynon equivalent can be added anytime you choose, as I installed mine about 3 yrs after first flight. Just had to update configuration in the network and system activated those items in the menu. Once I got the calibration close to what others found worked, it was very nice. I expect the Garmin version would be very much the same. It takes some load off flying in light turbulence, and if you have back seat pax, I'm sure they would appreciate it. The Dynon system lets you put in independent switch to turn YD on or off separately from the AP. I expect you can do same with Garmin.
