>>But who knows if and/or when it will ever happen. Would be very nice if it did, and would make a TruTrak/Aspen combo much more enticing to folks. I believe this is in the works The rapidly growing install base of the TT is not escaping the gaze of others.. and the market attractiveness of...

Agreed... So... when asked to "fly a heading" I press the Mode button, enter Track mode, dial in the new heading / track with the Knob and let the AP do it's thing. (Above MA of course) I have yet to have ATC request an "adjustment " . Usually the request is active for 2 - 4 minutes, then I...

That's kinda what I understood as well.. The headings they give us here are approximate, to the nearest 10 degrees.. A "track " still works as good as a "heading" , unless you are very slow, in a very strong 90 deg. crosswind and the new track is for a long time.. I have found that a long...

>>I figure I'll upgrade if my vacuum system totally fails at once. what are the odds. haha I have a DG that getting progressively noisier... Sometimes I imagine it to be "noisier" at times.... :) Cap

We got a quote for 13 hours, as the install is basically the same as the other Aspen units, the variable being how many interconnections you are having done, and if you are installing a magnetometer (HSI) option. The big news MAY be this... >>The Evolution E5 can be sold directly to consumers...

Hi Jesse.. First of all, thank you for your ongoing insights into the technical abilities of the TruTrak.. In your last post, this... >>but in all flying, ground track is what you want and what ATC wants you to do, but they still supposedly correct for wind and give you a heading rounded to...

>>>Oh, plastic gears on the Trio vs metal gears in the TruTrak. Glad you mentioned this... If some who are trying to decide could only hold the TruTrak servo in one hand, and the Trio servo in the other.... Cap

Nice! Lots of versatility in that design... The construction of the servo would indicate it is certainly capable of a lot more than the 60 in/lb. The gear train is silky smooth... 120 in/lb can move a lot... Cap

>>Interesting that you found the O-320 easier to maintain than the O-200. I wonder if that is the general consensus when comparing them or if that was particular to the condition of both of yours. Yes... The LYC is a better engine.. Parts for Cherokees tend to be less expensive.. For...

>>Now they will have a Capstan, which will further increase torque Will that be another certified servo Jesse? or a variation of their existing? Cap

Unit 74.. There is a "real world" cost of a Trio on another forum, PA-28 - 140 Straight wing, $11445.00, with roll servo under the seat... If the roll servo goes in the wing of the 32 (?), it could be an extra 10 hours. I think this cost was based on $80 per hour. Removal/balancing and...

Correct! :) Cap

TT had to redesign the pitch system, they "didn't like " the way it flew the plane, so they put a hold on the PA-32 this past summer. It was lacking the authority to handle the heavier aircraft pitch control forces. So they beefed up the mechanism and called in a more powerful servo. (TruTrak...

Florida I think! But I will let him take over from here, I can't even speel his name correctly... :) Cuppy

Arrrruuuuggghh! 'Pologies! My Bad! Fixed!! :) Cap

Hijacked from another forum... I don't think Jesse will mind.. :) Was looking for this post the other day and couldn't come up with it.. Found it... Re TT install in a Piper PA-28.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It shouldn't be Lynn... Most time consuming part is taking off the panel overlay. After that, 3 screws, one electrical plug and two small hoses and you have it in your hand.. I can do it in about 30 minutes...

Thank you for this~! Concurs with info I have from TruTrak.. TT have the software update ready, and the update is free. I am assuming we have to pay shipping both ways though, I did not ask that.. Cap

I have to agree... I really liked the Trio interface better... I like shallow menus and the extra buttons allow for a "one button selection" of some features.. And while you are "learning" the instrument, this has significant advantages. But after several months of flying behind the TT, I am...

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re Trio... From the Piper Forum... A verified actual cost was $9338, with included $3500 for the install portion.. I believe it was (from memory) about 50 hrs., and the custom built panel with cutout was waiting for the...
