    Re the inquiry about gauges:  I've tried to stick with all-electric airplanes on my last two, and have not had very good experience with the RC Allen gyros.  Their warranty policy is strange:  It's one year from the manufacture date, not your purchase date, so if it's been on the shelf someplace for a while, you may only have a few months of warranty time.  I've had two or three of the four I've purchased that have died right out of the box, or within a few hours of use.  If you want to pay the price, Mid-Continent now make an electric attitude gyro with battery backup.
    As for the Tru-Trak autopilots, they're the best buy on the market.  Capable, easy to install, and less expensive.
