    Subject: Dynon Autopilot
    Is the firmware currently in D10/D10A for A/P function? Do they have the operator/installation manual available? John -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Bill Repucci" <bill@repucci.com> 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 wont hurt to install them during your build. If you are already flying, the installation isnt any more difficult than installing any other autopilot.

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, No, the firmware is not out yet. They hope to release it to the Beta Testers soon. As for the manuals, that is something the Beta Testers are currently reviewing as well. I don't have a clue as to when they are going to release this stuff to the general public but I suspect it will be within a month or two. Give Dynon a call and ask. Better yet, check their support forum, available on their web page.

The autopilot head (AP74 or AP76) can also be added at any time.&nbsp; The AP74 and AP76 have some nice features but are not required for basic AP functionality.&nbsp; Check the Dynon web site for details (<A href="http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/news_announcing_autopilot.html">http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/news_announcing_autopilot.html</A>).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt;

Thus I HIGHLY recommend you install the wires (three 22 AWG and two 18 AWG wires for each servo) and brackets during initial construction.&nbsp; Neither the brackets or the wire weigh much and it wont hurt to install them during your build.&nbsp; If you are already flying, the installation isnt any more difficult than installing any other autopilot.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></SPAN></P> <P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt;
