Anyone have issues with TruTrak lately?  It took about

6 weeks to get mine after begging and pleading they

send it to me.  Finally I said, "I at least need the

servo since my whole airplane insides are removed and

would like to install it."  They said fine, but then

said the got one together to send me.  



They don't keep finished autopilots on the shelf, I'm

told.  John Stark is who I purchased it from and he

said 2-4 weeks is typical, but mine was more like 6. 

Not a big deal if you are building your airplane, but

when you are planning trips and planning a new

instrument panel install on a finished airplane,

delivery time become an issue.  



Then, when it showed up in the mail, the darn buttons

that have the arched arrows are installed backwards. 

So now I have to send the darn thing back and not fly

with it on a trip this weekend like I had planned.



Not good so far...after reading the Trio website, I'm

thinking I should have gone Trio.  (not to start a

trio/trutrak war, by any means)

I gave had some positive & negative response from TruTrak. When a servo  went 

bad they quickly sent one and then I returned the failed unit. I bought the  

ADI last June and have yet to receive the backup battery. They keep telling me 

 it will be shipped soon.  I asked about returning the ADI for refund &  was 

told I could get a credit toward some other product. 

NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!!!

I "went Trio," have had some issues which they were extremely quick and helpful with, and now have but one regret: eventual compatibility with GRT EFIS for coupled approach capability (specifically the glideslope portion) seems far off in the future and doubtful at best.  My Trio system may be reluctantly for sale later this year, as I make the transition to glass panel and IFR capability.  But I cannot say enough good things about the performance vs. price and the customer care at Trio.

I've got the Trio AP as well, and I plan to install their altitude

hold.  At least I've got a couple of holes in my panel waiting

for it.



Those Trio guys are great to work with.  I have not had a problem

with mine, but I'm not yet flying.  Any questions I've had

were answered very quickly and very thoroughly.



I'm sure they would be happy to work with GRT to make sure

their AP works with the EFIS.  GRT must realize that TruTrak

is becoming a competitor, having recently announced their

own EFIS product.



I hope you won't need to remove your Trio to get full use

of your GRT EFIS.  Perhaps now is the time for those of us

using the Trio and the GRT EFIS to start sending in our

requirements.
