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. Dr. Hsu On Fri, Sep 16, 2022, 1:46 PM Flesner via KRnet wro

  Since I go over to visit Steve regularly, I have looked this plane over pretty closely.  It has Diehl Wings that are much nicer than the ones that were on my KR and fuel tanks built into the wings.  It has a panel full of instruments.  It needs some final fit and finish on the cowl, the engine

TruTrak was developing an autopilot using RC servos and trim tabs and I was following it with interest.  What bogged them down (and they finally abandoned the project) was the approach of developing a kit for each type of aircraft.  They started with the RV-4, "self-certifying" each model of ai

Yes, this is the same principle as the trim tab on the rudder - but articulated by an RC servo. Used to deflect your control surface to enable the desired flight adjustments. I have done a bit of research - you say "price is close to normal autopilot" - I have not seen an autopilot with 6 pack

I will correct myself If this is the one I think it is the tab sticks on to the bottom of your aileron rather than bolt on. Larry H > On Sep 16, 2022, at 8:02 AM, larry howell via KRnet > wrote: > >  > Is this the auto pilot that uses a add on mechanical/power trim tab that you > bolt to t

Is this the auto pilot that uses a add on mechanical/power trim tab that you bolt to the trailing edge of your aileron then the trim tab moves up and down not your aileron itself. If so it is not so inexpensive. It does not have servos that move your ailerons or elevator unless he has made cha

Ok - I have been looking at the AV30 for a long time as a good solution for our KR... I have always been a traditional steam gauges kind of guy - using foreflight as my moving map. In my research I came across https://www.aircraftautomation.com/products/supereco-autopilot [http://cdn.shopify.c
