Thinking about autopilots for my 9A, and have always heard TruTrak is pretty much the gold standard by which all others shall be judged. But I'm planning a Skyview installation and the price of just adding on the autopilot servos from Dynon is certainly appealing, as is the savings in panel space. I'd really like my AP to be able to fly GPS and terrestrial-based glideslopes, and for now Skyview's capability to do that is vaporware. I've got time though, and I bet eventually they'll make good on that promise.
So those of you who are flying a Skyview autopilot, please tell us how the system is working out for you. Also valuable are any reports of using the Skyview AP in IFR conditions and any reports that can give an experienced direct head-to-head comparison between the Skyview AP and a TruTrak.
I know there are some differing opinions on why an autopilot should (or should not) be physically separate from the EFIS, and I'd rather not re-hash that debate unless someone has a first-hand horror story to tell about one configuration vs another. Thanks for any insight, guys and gals!
