I had Carpenter Avionics do an overhaul on the AP last summer. It works great!. If you need I have the manual for the adjustments on the IFSC 400, full service Manual. There are quite a few things you can manage on your own with intercept angles, scalloping on altitude and turn rates. All meant to be done in the air. I looked at a new AP, but 25K to give me the same functions I have already, albeit more accurate, but seems a bit out of line.

That's good to know, thanks.
Did you have to keep your old attitude gyro for the AP? My understanding is that the g500 or g5 can control the AP, but the original gyro attitude indicator must still be connected for it to work properly.
