Well in the conditions I flew in yesterday, I guess if I had to do that for an hour an AP might come in handy. Can you say altimeter 29.78 and dropping, 14G17 on landing.... ;)

In cost, yes, especially if you install an AP..... blech... But serious, again I stand corrected - I didn't think there was an easy way to hook up the servos. Even in my SS it's tight in there and I didn't see a convenient place to put them.

Div, at your convenience could you post some photos of your installation? I'd be curious to see how you got it in there.

I guess it's my ultralight background that makes me want as simple a plane as possible. JD did this one exactly right - an ASI, EIS, compass, gas guage and that's it. Apart from that it's a stick-n-rudder airplane....

The only other piece of gear I'm considering putting in it, like I said is a transponder and that's generally only for safety reasons. Being in the ATC system on a trip gives a lot of warm fuzzies.....
