Posted for Jack Cowell <jackcowell@optonline.net>:

  I have had a TT DFC 250 with the strong servos for about three years and 
have
had consistent and reliable performance in my IVP. As you state, when I did
have questions or issues (during the installation and initial flight stages) I
found the TT people to be responsive, knowledgeable and cooperative. Compared
to the performance and support I got from STec, the manufacturers of the
plane's first autopilot, my TruTrak is superior in every way.
