Trio AP
If you get on the Trio website you can see the cost for the Autopilots that have been certified so far. The cost looks like it is going to be VERY attractive.

Autopilot upgrade
I had a bid of $55,000 from Sarasota Avionics to install a new 55X in my 337A. This was about three years ago.

Does anyone know where I can get parts for my Dukes aux fuel pumps? They are very easy to overhaul if parts could be found.

I had forgotten that the uplock actuator does not have any hoses. Just hard lines. Checked fittings and all tight. Examined lines for cracks, did not find any that can be seen visually. ...
