REFLECTOR: AP1 Auto Pilot

[Lou Stedman]

Any of you guys out there know anything about a Navaid AP1 auto pilot? Let me fill you in on my problem. When I purchased my Vel, the auto pilot was not working. Recently, I removed it and returned it to Navaid. They replaced the gyro and returned it to me. I installed it and found that the wing leveler now worked well but it would not track the GPS or VOR. I took it into my avionics shop and they discovered that my KX155 GPS was not configured right. I had too large an area of swing. We set it for three tenths of a mile and it worked. I flew it back to my airport, about a half hour flight and it was tracking great. About twenty minutes into the flight my aircraft started a slow left turn off the gps course and it now does not work. Both wing leveler and course tracking are not working. Any thoughts. The gyro sounds like it is working. I know Navaid is no longer in business and I probably will have to look for another one but I just wanted to ask the experts before I spend my hard earned money.
