Dynon Autopilot

[Planedude]

Does anyone have any experience of retrofitting an autopilot in an RV7A that has a Dynon D100 EFIS and D120? Referrals? links?

Yes,

I did on a RV7. What's the question?

I did a retrofit install in a 6 with a D-100. Great system! Your roll servo install will be more like Brian's, but our pitch servo installs will be similar. Brian is the man with Dynon gouge, but I'll help if able.

For refs, here's some links to Dynon's online info:

Overall Dynon AP info here.

Detailed Dynon product documentation links here.

RV-7 (-8 and -10 same) Roll Servo install info here.

RV-7 (-6 and -9 same) Pitch Servo install info here.

Good luck! The install process is not bad, though you will get into some contortions enroute, and get into some nooks and crannies running wires. Very doable though. I added the AP-74 and like it too, FWIW.

All very worth the effort...have fun!

Cheers,
Bob
