Bought this AP on VAN's forum used thinking I would put it in my next plane; now I have that plane but it already has Dynon Skyview plus servos. Seller claimed low time (probably true, how many hours do we really put on autopilots?); one servo had just been rebuilt at the factory so should be effectively zero-time. I have not tested, all still in the box I received them in. $1,600 OBO as-is, happy to send pix, serial numbers, etc. Located north Atlanta metro if you are local. VSGV model will couple to both course and glideslope for precision GPS approaches using ARINC data format (can be driven by Nav GPS or some EFIS models); also course following using Aviation 9600 serial output from popular handhelds / non-precision GPS. Nice un-documented feature of the Digiflight line (never could figure out why TruTrak never advertised this) - you can hook up using ARINC to one GPS and Serial to another, and by default it will follow ARINC but if you have an "interrupter" switch on the ARINC signal and manually turn it off, or if the ARINC unit fails, the AP will automagically switch to the alternate serial source for course guidance. Also possible to use a selector switch if you have two precision GPS sources.
