Dear Europaphiles,

For those of you with autopilots installations, please read the following thread
:-  
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=36393  On the third page of the thread there are pictures of what the pilot found after he landed and investigated. He was a lucky guy.

Also on page 3, there are some further comments regarding the servo cover plate
screws which have been found to be loose on some installations. My earlier impressions
had been that Tru Trak makes some nice equipment. However, it seems
that their servo design needs improvement. 

Cheers, John
