Default 2 Axis Autopilot?
What is the best for the buck autopilot for an RV-7A? (there's a wide open question!). I'm only starting the Emp but am trying to plan ahead I plan to use my existing 196 for GPS.

Any info/personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah!! Any TruTrac would be good based on your needs. Don't have one yet, but they will be my choice.

Default TruTrak
I got to fly behind a TruTrak ADI Pilot before it came out on the market and I was very impressed. You can get flop the plane around in all kinds of attitudes and the needles follow you perfectly. Yes I got sick! Yes I bought one!
