Alan << I recently installed one of these (speed controls) on my 360 for pitch (my rudder trim is slow enough). The key point is that it does not reduce the torque when speed is reduced like the MAC control does. The unit also has a neat pilot/copilot control function, although I did not utilize it. I have not done extensive testing, but it works great so far. I used the flap micro switch on my AOA system to drive the hi/lo speed trigger. I spoke to Bob (who makes them) at Reno an he mentioned he was working on a variable speed unit driven by the pitot system. Regards, Clark Baker N250JF LNC2 360, 650hrs tt
