Been reading about the Nynon Autopilot and am quite intrigued that the EFIS contains
the necessary ooph to control dual axis servos. A FAQ is if the separate
AP Module is required with any Dynon EFIS. Answer: No. The Module allows for
additional capbility; preselect mode or altitude.
Did anyone attending S&F visit the Dynon booth?

John,
I have been talking to Dynon at length about the autopilot installation.
Your understanding of how the system works is correct. In fact, the AP can
be driven by both the D10A and the D100/D180 EFIS systems with or without
the AP74 or AP76 expansion modules.
It is the type of system one can grow into, in that you can install their
EFIS and add a servo (roll or pitch), then come back and add the 2nd servo
when you are ready. The autopilot head (AP74 or AP76) can also be added at
any time. The AP74 and AP76 have some nice features but are not required
for basic AP functionality. Check the Dynon web site for details
(http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/news_announcing_autopilot.html).
If you are thinking about installing an autopilot, it can be done after you
are flying but like everything else, it is much easier to do while you are
under construction. Thus I HIGHLY recommend you install the wires (three 22
AWG and two 18 AWG wires for each servo) and brackets during initial
construction. Neither the brackets or the wire weigh much and it won't hurt
to install them during your build. If you are already flying, the
installation isn't any more difficult than installing any other autopilot.
