337 autopilots

[N5ZX]

I have an S-Tec 60-2 in my '77 and it works well...if ya dont mind a little porpoiseing at cruise. I think they run about $10k off the shelf.,,,,installation is, of course, the big bugger.

But BEWARE of the temptation of "affordable" autopilots available on ebay, etc.

I have read in many MANY articles that S-TEC will not support ANY autopilot other than that for which it was purchased NEW. It doesnt matter if you want to install a yellow-tagged autopilot in the same year, and model, S-TEC wont have anything to do with it once it is removed from the aircraft in which it was originally installed.

As always, I could be wrong....it's been known to happen.

But I've read it in a number of independant, "reputable" resources.

Caveat Emptor!!!
