Folks,
Looking for more bang for the buck on my 110knot magic carpet. Anybody knows the cheapest way to add a wing leveler autopilot capability to my warrior II?
Does anybody know if those century I systems were optional equipment for the pa28-161? Figured saves a bunch of paperwork on the installation.
Also, can anybody give me the rundown on the different piper autopilots? I like the idea of a rate-based autopilot all-electric autopilot over a vacuum dependent system. I know I've seen those century Is on grummans, are these also the kind that came with pipers? My understanding on those "autocontrol" piper series autopilots is that they're driven by vacuum gyros and require a specific DG to run them? I rather just take out the TC I have and only have to install a servo and TC rather than overhaul my whole vaccuum setup just to gain a wing leveler. That seems too expensive for the trouble.
Just looking for the cheapest way into a wing leveler, 4 hour legs are killing me at the speed of smell in IMC. Thanks!
