Hey all,



Does anyone out there have a Navaid Autopilot manual that can be sent to 

me via email?



I recently bought an RV-6A with a Navaid and want to try to get the 

Navaid set up better.  The autopilot cannot maintain a good wings level 

and continuously rocks the aircraft back and forth.  Am hoping there is 

some pearl in the setup that will mean I can avoid having to replace it 

with a Trio.



Many thanks,

Scott Lewis

Hey Danny,



Thanks for the response.  The only form of manual on the website that I 

can find is the basic how to use bit.  I am more interested in the setup 

and adjustment details, like how can I get the Navaid to realise that 

"wings level" is not a 5 degree bank to the right?



Thanks,

Scott Lewis

I don't have the manual for you, but I do have some advice.  I 

experienced a similar rocking problem with my Navaid.  There is nothing 

in the book that will help.  I called the Navaid people (very helpful 

folks) who had me remove the unit and perform some bench tests and 

report the findings to them.  At that point they told me to ship it back 

to them for repairs (free of charge) and they sent it back within a week 

or so, and now it's rock solid.



Bottom line is- call them.

As far as centered , I would remove the wingtip and get it adjusted

With the knobs centered using the wing alignment holes to get both

Ailerons true centered,  I am not sure if your using the smart coupler

I don't have one, he said he would fax me a new procedure to adjust

The pot as the one in the manual was hard to understand as I needed

To move the crank arm 90 degree's.. I know you're a long way

Away but calling him is your best bet.. he is very helpful.. 

I have all the manuals but I don't have a way to get them into

A document to email you..

Hi Scott,



I initially had some instability as you mentioned with my Navaid.  Navaid

people were aware of this condition with some airplane with very light

aileron forces.  They recommended a resistor installation at the servo.

This solved my problem.  



The manual does have some information on setting the null position of the

gyro.  This requires using a digital VOM across some pins on the rear of the

control unit and adjusting a pot. 



I will get the manual from the hangar and send you some info.
