Hello Group.
With respect to the 2-50 toggle switch, on-on-(on), when switching to the momentary position do the other positions open up for an instant during the switching motion. I was thinking about using it for the autopilot as the off-on-disengage, but I would not want the middle position "on" to be disrupted during switching to the momentary "on" position to disengage the autopilot. My RV-7A does not have an avionics master and I was thinking instead of installing an on/off to power the autopilot and then a 2nd spst momentary push button for the autopilot disengage, I could incorporate these 2 functions into to a single switch. Thanks for any thoughts.

I have a Trutrak in my airplane. I use one momentary (on) switch. If I hold it for 3 seconds it engages the autopilot and if I just hit it disengages the autopilot.
Don’t know it this tidbit helps at all. But, I do love the feature….

Hi Rene', that sounds good since the AP I'm considering is the Trutrak Gemini.

I think they call their feature control wheel steering or something like that. So you have the autopilot engaged and are flying it along (not coupled) and you want to change the track by 10 degrees or so, hold the button turn the 10 degrees and release. Keeps your head out of the cockpit and lets you just point and go.
