I installed the ALTRAK standalone pitch axis autopilot made by TruTrak Flight Systems in our Glasair 1. This augments the already installed STEC 30 roll axis autopilot. Making up the wire harness that connects the servo to the computer to the aircraft instrument panel is straightforward and took 2...

I inadvertently did not return the ignition switch to "BOTH" after a preflght mag check cause: distraction, I was an idiot) the other day departing in my Glasair with my partner.

"Dick" wrote in message ... Staring at my empty instrument panel while considering which instruments and their placement, I got wondering how old time Mail pilots flew if caught in IFR conditions. On my project...

Xoooommmm tried to stick it to Adams in ANN for bringing their new A700 aircraft to Osh without the envelope fully opened. I guess all the manufacturers that bring new aircraft to the Paris Air Show should also be slammed for not having fully opened their envelopes before displaying the bird(s) or...
