My AP-1 has never really worked correctly. When engaged it (rarely, but) sometimes acts correctly. Most of the time is wants to turn sharply one direction then the other - as if it has a bad connection somewhere. It's the same whether in track or WL.

I understand that the company went out of business. Is there anyone else that can rebuild the unit for me? Is that what needs to be done?

I've hand-flown it over 250 hours in the last 12 months, but it'd be nice for it to work... :fcross:

Thanks
 
So really noone knows where I can get this worked on?

FYI, I believe TruTrak AP can use the Navaid servos. I had a Naviad in the Velocity when purchased and was never satisfied with its performance. Memory is a bit foggy, but I believe I only replace the AP and kept the servos.

I also believe I've heard that the Trio can use the Navaid servo.

If you don't get anywhere on repairs, at least you are only looking at $1,000-$1,200 for the Trutrak / Trio head.

Best of luck in the search.
