I hear you, Bill; I will be 67 this year, but at any age, having an autopilot, even a basic wing leveler, is worth a lot in a single-pilot operation. It gives you time to do many things, including...

That is a lot of money ($10K) to get the 400 up to speed. The only thing you can do is compare it to the purchase price of a STEC 55 along with the labor to install it against just how bad you want...

Same here, rather than buying a spare. I have not had the avionics tech sift through the 3500's autopilot list.


Yes, it is a shame. I can't imagine what it would take to even compete in this...

I will ask them, I'm waiting for the shop to call me in as I have a transmit issue on my #2 430W.

Question, do you have the 2.3 WAAS software upgrade on your 3308? Apparently, few did it as it was...

I think the average factory rebuilt IO-360 runs about $35K, but that doesn't include your shop's work involved with removing it and putting it back on. The avionics depends on what you want out of...

I live on a ranch, so none. They start grass and brush fires. We do shoot a lot, and most of us have rifle ranges, so we will let them rip!

That is the question, Dan. I'm not sure how I would have gone if mine had the ICFS. It's a lot of money into an old airframe with part availability issues and prices for those parts what they are.
