Default ADI Pilot Feedback

I'm looking for feedback on the TruTrak ADI Pilot autopilot. I don't believe there are too many out there and am considering one for attitude backup to my EFIS and autopilot duties. Any comments would be appreciated.

Default ADI Pilot II

I just installed my ADI Pilot II.
Flown it about 3 hours so far and it works wonderfully.
My hangar mate has the ADI only and he too loves it.
For normal flying....that all I do, it appears to work and look just like a AH.
Good Luck.

Doug's airplane (Flash) has one installed, and when I was flying around a couple weeks ago, I found that the ADI works great, and the autopilot flies the airplane just as well as the Pictorial Pilot in my -8. I think it's a great instrument/autopilot!

Thumbs up ADI Pilot II

I have the ADI Pilot II in my RV-9A and use it all the time. It works differently than an vacuum horizon, but once you understand that, it works great.

I have mine hooked up to my Garmin 396 and it follows the pink line every time.
