Hello, list,



I'm agonizing over my decision for a single axis autopilot/backup T&B in an

all-electric panel.  Does anyone have any experience, yay or nay, with

either the Trutrak Pictoral Pilot or the Trio EZPilot.  If so, please share

it with me, either on this list or via direct email.



Thanks

My Trio is fantastic. Easy to install - works as advertised. Great support from Trio when I encountered GPS NMEA data stream issues coming from the radio - they were fully supportive. My friend has a Trutrak in his Cozy. He had to take it to an avionics shop to get it squared away, but he says it works fine. I haven't flown with it.

Can't speak from personal experience regarding the Trio, but I've heard  from several users they are very happy with them.  My own experience with  TruTrak stuff is on an RV and  several Jabirus, two completely different  platforms.  Both worked beautifully.  And FWIW, I recently spent some  time at TruTrak Central in Springdale AR while Younkin &  Co. configured an installation on a new Jabiru- these folks are  tenacious regarding getting it right, and the result was absolutely  deceased testicles.  Damn impressive...

Jim,

 I have experience with both.

 I find the features of the Trio more advanced and the folks easy to work with.

 Ive got thousands of hours in RV's behind auto pilots. The Trio has the best feature set and price point.

 You wont be disappointed with either. I choose Trio for the reasons above plus service and support.

 Best,

 Mike

Have  you thought about the Dynon AP? Appears to blow the others away in terms of  value. Much as they have done with their EFIS.

"Appears"? You have hit a key word. I dont do "appears." Im afraid they(Dynon) are way behind the AP curve. Where the other providers have been doing it for years, Dynon is new to the field. Hardly months old. This presents several problems for folks wanting to get going in an AP. I do not recommend newcomers until they have proven themselves in the field. Dynon does not have pitch in the game yet to the best of my knowledge. They still have far to go to even make the table stakes in my game. Frankly I don't consider them even a player yet.
