Thanks Doug - this is one that I have on my list of possibilities - the weight is a lot more - however the amount of time the company has been around and the customer support were big pluses for your solution.
How is the Dynon D10A working out for you? Any sqawks?

My approach was to buy a used Dynon D10A. This provides all 6 pack functions plus autopilot brains plus lithium backup battery. Servos are $1500 each, new from Dynon. This gives GPS steer and altitude pre-select.

Yes, you are correct that I remember he told me it was indeed a killer deal Dynon package from an avionics shop he found online! I don't believe the servo motors he got were heavy & old ones as he bragged about the light weight of his system...! Always search online for what you want, and you will be amazed to find out what's out there! cheers, Dr. Hsu On Sat, Sep 17, 2022, 7:32 PM Michael Quinn <mqui...@hotmail.com<mailto:mqui...@hotmail.com>> wrote: Dr. Hsu please provide the information on that autopilot for under 1k with the six pack setup! I have not found anything like that (maybe your friend bought an old Dynon with old heavy servos on a killer deal that cannot be found anywhere else?) Larry - I did the cart add and mine came out to $2,700 (abet higher than what Dr. Hsu is saying he knows of for a better setup) - I talked with Carlos and what I had choosen contained all the servos wiring and head. Please, if you say that you found something better - share the link or at least the name of the product so I can research. I want to make certain I am comparing apples to apples.

Totally agree with what Larry just said! A friend of mine in Albuquerque just spent under $1k to install his autopilot with all servo motors included! He bought a used system with 8 inch screen, as there are many for sale out there.....

I did the "cart checkout" thing and with tax (and no waterproof servos) my cost came to $4200 with tax. I don't fly enough cross country to justify that cost. Also, any trim tab mounted to a control surface moves the control surface which controls the aircraft unless of course the control surface is locked down. I got my KR home from Mt.Vernon today so I guess everyone survived the Gathering. I'm in the process of packaging hats / shirts and should ship Monday or Tuesday. I'll contact each buyer and advise on cost. It looks like I can ship at flat rate for under $10 in the U.S. Stay tuned......................
