You can drive the Garmin autopilot with a G5 which is "only" $1,300...

I am under the impression that to install a Garmin or Dynon based
autopilot you need at least one of their screens. The servos are cheap
at $750 and they mount same as TT. But a system of screen, ADAHRS and
wiring is going to cost probably 2-3 times what the servos do, even in a
7" screen size.

>>> Guys: Tim's concerns about MidContinent's TruTrak service is
legitimate. It took me 7 months! and I would bet 100 emails and phone
calls with Zach Williamson at Bendix King and Bruce Grammon at Midcontinint
to to get the proper wiring schematics to make a Sorcerer work in my latest
10 last year. Bruce had no idea what a TruTrak was until last June and
admitted that Bendix King did not supply MidContinent with Mannuals, etc.
even though MidContinent was the authorized repair center for TruTrak. I
sent the trim module (which MidContinent lost) and the Head to MidContinent
Two times to be checked out only for Bruce to tell me it checked OK on the
bench. I finally got Zack at Bendix King to Get off his A-- and look at
Installation Manuals IN DETAIL. He said that the schematics sent with the
Installation manuals did not show the changes in the newer units and Trim
modules. Once he shared that information with me, I now have a working
Blue Screen (newer Sorcerer) that w!

For less than $4K, you can get a Trio Pro complete with autotrim, and no stepper
motors.
