I have two Skyviews in panel. I installed the servos for the auto-pilot.(pitch and roll)I started building with manual trim cable in place but now that Dynon came out with the separate Auto-pilot control module. It would mean cutting another hole in my panel.(not a big deal) Looking at the pictures of the Dynon autopilot module it shows buttons for up-down trim. Do I scrap the manual trim cable and go with the motorized pitch trim. (Not planning a roll trim).
Dynon's website shows two auto-pilot modules.
One is simple. Baro,heading,course and altitude hold.
Second one has more buttons, rnav,vnav,trim up & down. So is this second module for planes with a certified WAAS navigator (like Garmin430-ish) connected to the Skyview? or just power trim. I don't plan on a WAAS navigator, just the Dynon GPS Skyview. So if you can guide me here I would appreciate that. Which module should I buy? what are the advantages or lack of for a VFR pilot. Should (RV9A) be flying in the next two months.
