I recent= ly had a 55x and replaced it with the Garmin g3x. I found it to be an excell= ent en route autopilot but there were some issues that frustrated me terribl= y that forced my decision to move to a modern digital system.  I found a= t certain frequencies the pitch servo would be disturbed when keying my mic.= Others on lml have experienced this also.   I shielded the hell out of= the servo and made sure my power and signal grounds on the aircraft were pe= rfect but I still could not keep rf out of the damn thing.  In addition= , I could not get sufficient roll rate for intercepting an ils for instance.=  

I am an electronics engineer by training &n= bsp;and am pretty handy with a soldering iron.  S-TEC were reasonably h= elpful in directing me to the right components to change out on the computer= boards to better match the system to the lnc2 flight dynamics but I was nev= er fully satisfied with the results.  Pitch control was good but as poi= nted out earlier, roll left something to be desired.

I have also owned a certified aircraft (Tobago) with the s-TEC 30 and foun= d it to be very reliable with no gain/control issues. Be sure to order the G= PSS module

I'm far from an expert, but I had in my LNC2 360 (chronolog= ical order):
-wing leveler (I forget the brand)
-50X (not a typo- interesting story- only a few of these made i= t out into the field)
-55X
-TT Digiflight 2


The Trutrak was the s= tandout performer in pitch (and roll). Not even close.  I never had the= S-Tec 30, but  likely you would be disappointed in the amount of impro= vement in pitch.
