I have the Dual GRT EFis and Trio Autopilot with altitude hold. GRT gives a lot of press to Trutrak but the Trio is fully compatable with the GRT EFIS. If you compare features, the Trio comes way out ahead. Their customer service has been superb and the quality of the components is beyond great. I haven't flow yet, but I am already sold on the Trio. Feel free to email me direct if you have any questions or come by and have a look. I urge you to make a direct comparison of the features of each system. To my mind, the Trio came out way ahead. Ron Schreck ronschreck@alltel.net Gold Hill, NC --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: I hope this question does not stir things up, but I am ready to close the QB wings on my 7A and I want to install autopilot system. I have two choices Trutrack or Trio, I know very little about autopilots and I do want to use the Grand Rapids EFIS dual screen system. So here is the question what is the system with the best features and value and how is this going to fit in to my needs, I am interested in flying 98% of the time day time VFR and around 300 to 500 mile trips. Any help will be welcomed.

I have a first generation TruTrak, recently updated to current specs (gratis). Their customer service is also good. If I had to do it again, I'd look hard at their ADI AP product. - Larry Bowen Larry@BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Ron Schreck [mailto:ronschreck@alltel.net] > Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2005 8:04 AM > To: RVSoutheast List > Subject: RVSouthEast-List: Autopilot > > --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Ron Schreck" > --> > > George, > > I just finished building my RV-8 panel.

It will fly the ILS needles centered to DH. I had some trouble at first, but TruTrak worked with me until all the problems were solved. (I was one of their first customers.) I'm definitely putting one in my RV9A.
