All



I have decided to install autopilot, probably one axis only.



Trio Avionic´s Ez Pilot looks neat.

Also their customer support seems to be fast and pro, so far.



On the other hand, I have in my panel Dynon D10A.

I know there is a possibility to update it for Dynon´s autopilot.

That would be much cheaper way but somehow I do not like that idea.



What about user´s experience´s?

Somebody there - do you have any important info?



Thanks, Raimo

I also decided to use a Trio Avionic's EZ Pilot. I've built it in, but

I'm not flying yet. Their customer support is great indeed! Installation

is pretty straightforward, I linked the servo to the starboard stick,

and put the servo itself under the left thigh support.

The nice things are that it really communicates very well with the GPS,

and has very nice features, not seen in other auto pilots. The complete

installation is very lightweight.

Hi,

I have had both the wing leveller and altitude hold  installed in a Tecnam 

Sierra connected to an Avmap 4 GPS. I had the standard altitude hold without 

auto trim as the Sierra exhibits very little trim change during flight and 

so did not go for the auto trim which is available if the aircraft has 

electric trim fitted. The EZ 2 allows pre set climb or decent rates as well 

and the EZ 3 does that but with the addition of it also levels off at a pre 

set height.

Over the winter I have built another Sierra and have  installing the new 

Trio Pro Pilot which uses the same servos but all incorporated in one head. 

This is in fact the wing leveller and EZ3 in one case and is cheaper as a 

package than the two separate units to the same spec. This will be connected 

to a "Flymap GPS" but the Trio units  uses the standard NMEA 0183 signal 

link that is common to most GPS. Pre made wiring harnesses are available if 

required.

The Trio  does what it says on the box and will fly the aircraft better than 

you can. As for service, it is superb. I stripped a gear in my first one 

through clumsiness on my part while adjusting the clutch and they sent me a 

whole new servo by return..

I can vouch for the quality of the customer service from Trio - we 

installed the unit but the data string from our GPS wasn't correct - we 

shipped the GPS and head back to them and they did a 'special' in the 

firmware so that it could understand our data stream - they shipped it 

back to us - total cost Â£0 (or should that be $0).



The only thing that let our installation down was the quality of the 

servo - we had the old style Navaids servo - the build quality was very 

poor but they have since realised that and replaced it with a servo of 

their own design.



Peter

Raimo C

 I have a Trutrak wingleveler and for the 200 hours I have flown it works great. It is slaved to the Garmin 430 and intercepts at the waypoints of the route. Also good after sales service.

 Best regards C

 Karel Vranken.
