Haven't had to have any repairs either. I use it on almost every cross-country - keeps the horizon where it should be when I'm checking a chart. Of course, one must get the pitch trim set up and settled down before doing so to keep altitude excursions to a minimum but that's a relatively minor problem. The Navaid works as a wing leveler only or will (when provided the signal) track a VOR or the GPS course output. I've tested it's ability to track a localizer (in VFR conditions - just in case) and it does that quite well too. Works for me. Dan Schaefer LNC2 (early 235)
