Autopilot 400 vs S-Tec

Bob, Mike, Dale,

Several options, it seems… :-)

The 400 has no flight director, and no heading bug. Heading is set on a knob on the control head.

Actually, I do have a S-Tec 50 that only spent about one year in a Reims Rocket (Cessna 172). Everything is there, servos, gyros, etc., but it’s a 14 Volt system, and my 337 is 28 Volt.

I can probably add a converter to take care of the voltage, bu it’s a major job to install the S-Tec, as I have no manuals, servo brackets or –cables.

Was thinking that if there are a lot of 400 computer boxes around I could get one real cheap to test the system. Maybe not a good idea?

Further opinions welcome!
