2) How does the
TruTrack Sorcerer Autopilot compare with the STec 55X in capabilities?
Which/what autopilot would you recommend based on your
experiences?
I can't speak first
hand of the sorcerer (because I haven't flown mine yet) but I do have a
55x.
of the 55x I can
say
-
never solved the porpoise problem when tracking a glideslope at low
altitude. granted this is on an unusual installation - a c172RG.....oh, a
IVP is sort of unusual too isn't it?
- it
took me almost a year to debug the (rest of ) the installtion. turned out
to be a broken plastic housing on a dsub connector.
-
factory support is abysmal
- rate
controlled is great for reliability but it's a rough (strange yawing motions and
short term heading deviations) ride in turbulence
-
doesn't have speed hold mode in climb (vs. vertical speed hold)
In short, if the trutrak
does even half as well as I expect I will be happy not to have another stec
product
