Hello,

I just received a call from the technician doing the electrical connections 
for my new S-Tec System 30 autopilot and was informed that I cannot hook up 
the GPSMAP195 to the AP as a NAV source directly.  He said that I needed to 
purchase some sort of interface.  Since I've been grounded for over a month 
now, I told him to proceed with the project without the 195.    Originally, I 
wanted to install a switch to select between my Garmin 250XL and the 
GPSMAP195, then a separate switch to select between VOR and GPS.  I wanted to 
be able to use the 195 since I can download my flight plan directly into the 
unit.  I don't know if I can do the same for the 250XL (manual is missing 
from the box!).  Anyone have any experience with this?  I really need to buy 
a separate interface?  Thanks in advance.
I actually accomplished quite a bit during the past month from items on my 
TO-DO list.  Here's a quick update: a)  completed SB050-0999, b) installed 
new emergency gear dump valve, c) installed a speed controller for the pitch 
servos, hopefully to reduce the over sensitivity of the pitch trim, d) 
installed the S-Tec roll & pitch Servos, e) fixed pitot tube which I 
accidentally broke with my back while crawling backwards!, f)  hot wired the 
GPSMAP 195 and a bunch of other minor stuff. 
I hope to be back in the air this weekend and test the autopilot and the 
speed controller.  Should be interesting...
