The apparent choices seem to be Trio's EZpilot, or TruTrac's Pictoral Pilot II. Any Pro/Con comments on either. Or alternatives.

There are people I have the highest respect for some have Trios and some have TruTrac all have opinions it seems to be like tip up or slider, trike or tail dragger - go with what ya like. I noticed Dynon now has a AP and I was thinking of putting a Dynon in my 6 so ?????
