Do you normally fly at 1500 feet with the control lock in?

a) that's the reminder bug
b) who's going to pay STEC for the STC to move it to another tail number?

How else would it hold altitude?

Right, silly me, I totally forgot that the Alt Hold button is really just for fun and the true mechanism behind the AP is a $1,950 control lock

I've heard it costs a pretty penny to get that STC, if they'll even do it.
Meanwhile, we've got three different part 23 certified systems coming out this year that are full/modern featured for around $8k installed. STEC's stuff is going to make less and less sense.

TruTrak, Pro Pilot, and I think Dynon is working on an STC as well. The first two are 5-6k for the install kits, servos, and autopilot itself.
TruTrak just did a test install at Oshkosh in a 172 and it was 18 hours. Pro Pilot already has STCs for the 172 and 182. They'll be showing it off this week.

Garmin also announced theirs for this fall.

We are actually getting the Trio system in the next few weeks. This single axis stec can be useful for someone until their model gets an stc however. We are fortunate to be flying the test model of the trio.
I'll check the costs for stc transfer

I'll second that. My post was misleading. There are some great new APs coming out, but there are still gonna be a lot of planes that aren't STCed for them or may never be STCed for them.

Be interesting to see if the price of "transfer of STC" comes down from S-Tec as these new A/P's hit the market... if they don't lower it, they're dead.

Century told us they would sell us the whole kit with all necessary paperwork and we could install it. The "dealer install only" policies continue to erode.
