To update those of you out there considering Sierra Flight Systems or the
TruTrak Digital Autopilot, here is a report emailed to me this morning from
Mike Guth.

-Kirk Hammersmith, Lancair Avionics Inc.

"Bob,
Thanks to your and the entire Lancair crew for the superb support I received
over the past two days. You all made it possible for us to depart Bend today
before the snow arrives tonight.  We had an incredible flight from Bend (S
07) to Desert Resorts (TRM) La Quinta, CA. We departed at 4 PM, climbed to
23,000 feet and cruises on 16 GPI at 325 knots. We came smoking in at 375
Knots.  The Sierra operated perfectly, and the recent fuel calibration by
Kirk and Ed was very accurate.  Thanks to Richard for his assistance
installing the new alternator.  I coupled the TruTrak to a flight plan in
the Garmin 430. The autopilot threaded the needle all the way to California.
One of the waypoints required a 80 degree right course change. At 325 knots
the autopilot started the turn 2.2 miles from the way point and precisely
intercepted the new course with no over or under shoot.  What a thrill this
flight was.
Thanks again to all at Lancair.
Michael Guth"
