ncock <bhancock@worldwidewarbirds.com>=0A=0AGang,=0A=0AWe have installed a
number of auto pilots.- The CJ is a bit of a challenge to mount the servo
s, but we have it pretty well nailed now.- We wanted to tie into the bell
cranks, which is tough to do on the elevator, but I believe a much more re
liable and safe installation.- We'd be happy to provide mounting kits and
instructions to anyone interested.- Will save any first timer a lot of h
ead aches.=0A=0AAs for the type of AP's out there, I really like 3 differen
t ones.=0A=0A1)- Tru Trak is the AP king in the experimental world.- Th
e units are smart, reliable, and the company has great customer support.-
Many different levels of complexity to suit your taste and budget.- They
have teamed up with Advanced Aviation for a fully integrated EFIS/AP combo
.- I'll be flying this combo in our first Super CJ in a few weeks.- I'v
e also flown with them in a few L-39's, as well as my Lancair, and they do
a nice job.- http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/=0A=0A2)- A less expen
sive but almost as feature rich and well built AP is the Pro Pilot from Tri
o.- http://www.trioavionics.com/=0A=0A3)- The other AP that I'm keen on
is the Dynon.- We have not yet installed one, but do have two units on o
rder.- The great thing about the Dynon is that it is less expensive and t
hey are a good company that is sure to be around for a long time.- This m
akes the most sense if you install a Dynon EFIS.- Their new Sky View syst
em is impressive and is fully integrated with their AP.- At $750 each for
the servos, it's a great value.=0A=0AWe will be the first to have the Sky
View in a CJ and I'll give reports as we gain experience.- That being sai
d Dynon sells more EFIS's to the GA world than Garmin, so I expect a superi
or product.=0A=0AHope this helps.=0A=0AHappy Flying,=0A=0ABarry=0A=0A=0A=0A
