I have the EZ Autopilot. Thanks to advise from "BJ" , it took me 3 hours
to install! Most of that was wiring. The price wasn't to bad at all and
so far product support has been good to excellent.
For long cross countries this is great. I've been arriving more rested
and I been able to - fold and un-fold charts, get weather, look up this or
that, contemplate different courses, and even just enjoy the sights. On a
leg home from OSH there year I ran into some nasty weather ( low vis and
rain). I was able to let the auto pilot do the straight and level stuff, while
I watched out for the rain and worked my way around the storm. ATC was a
big help. I don't XM weather YET!
I am pleased with it with one caveat. Earlier this year I was able to
get (for fee) the altitude control and servo from an a guy whose seaplane
took an underwater dip in a fresh water lake near here. I sent it out to Trio
and they replaced a number of items. I've put it in but I am having
problems with it (which I am not sure is ME or the something else from possible
water damage). Anyway I have not had enough flights with it too figure out
what's wrong.

I think it was a good investment for me.
