Glad to see you here... Welcome
Sten... this is the place to be if you own a skymaster... smile... glad to see you made it over... I think you will find this to be a very informative group...
As to your autopilot... call S-tec and they will work with you... they can take your old one and convert it over to 24 volt... and they have the plans and items that you need to make it work... its much better... the 400 is like a 1960 VW Bus... while it will run down the road.. it's slow and old and hard to find parts for anymore... and the ones that are subed... are not the same... so it never really does work as good ... while your 50 is like a modern corvett... good fast and less trouble... technology has come a long way since the 400... and after you get through getting the transistors to working.. the caps and other parts are going to start having problems too... its just better to upgrade... call S-tec they are a good company to work with and they will get you set up... I am sure... as the actuators for the old autopilot will come out and the new ones go right back in where the others were... kinda thing... even use some of the wireing from the old ones...smile...
Good luck and fly safe.. G.>M>. GMAs.
