Century 2000 altitude hold issue...

[Dico]

Hello All,

Just the past couple flights we've had an issue with the altitude hold
-- it doesn't work anymore. When pressed, the plane pitches up to
about 1500ft/min climb rate.

After flying around for 10 minutes and trying it again the plane would
only pitch up about 500' per min. After about 15 minutes the plane
would vary -200/+200'/minute. Obviously not ideal so we should get it
fixed.

Just wondering if anyone has heard of this before and who ended up
fixing it. I don't want to send this to our local shop where they
don't have any Century AP experience and pay for them to gain this
experience. Rather send it to a shop that knows these APs and can fix
it properly.

Any ideas and names of shops would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dico
