Another (good) data point to add. Very pleased with the performance of my Dynon AP. "Legendary" ;) system in an RV-6. D-100/D-10A/AP-74/SV-32s on outer holes (pitch with hard stop, roll without...couldn't fit it in).

Concur with Brian...latest firmware update nailed the pitch (earlier updates sqauared away roll), and it just does a great job now! I also like the AP-74 for ease of use. Good stuff all around!

Cheers,
Bob

can you use the AP-74 with the skyview? i like the idea of dedicated panel space for AP stuff

Dynon are thinking about this apparently.

I have explained my reasons for thinking it is a good idea. In any IMC operations it is almost a must have, not a nice thing to have.

If they can adapt the current one it should be cost effective to do.

On balance, I wish I had a Skyview, but that's one thing I like about the older setup with the AP74 and HS34--four dedicated knobs: heading bug, OBS, altitude bug, and altimeter setting. These buttons always do the same thing, without any button presses required.
