Source of the Navaid AP-1 installation manual

[Jim Ham]

As many of you already know Naviad Devices has gone belly-up. It's too
bad from my point of view, they have made an excellent autopilot for a
reasonable cost for many years.

Anyway, I have the AP-1 manual posted on my web site for anyone that
needs it. <ftp://ftp.porcine.com/SmartCoupler/NavaidOCR.doc> or
<ftp://ftp.porcine.com/SmartCoupler/NavaidOCR.pdf>, whichever format you
like.

For the record I will be supporting the built-in Smart Couplers that
were an option for the AP-1 for the last 10 years or so.

I'm sure that will be helpful to many of us.

Do you also have access to schematics for the control head & servo
electronics? I had the misfortune to let the smoke out of my servo just
one day before reading the news of Navaid's demise. Repairing an analog
servo shouldn't be difficult for a decent tech, but a schematic would
ease the pain of troubleshooting by a lot.

Thanks,
