autopilot

Do any of you have any experience with the AP-1 Navaid Auto Pilot? I have one in the plane I bought butt would like some friendly advise before I try using it.

Thanks

Hi Gil,   Had a friend with a mustang II. He thought it was great.  Easy to install and a good wing leveler.  

Had it hooked to his GPS.

Mine is hooked up to the GPS as well. When I first got the plane I removed the tie rod to the servo/aileron horn. I wanted to be able to fly the plane without distractions. I think I'm ready to try the autopilot now.  I think I'm going to need a little help keeping the plane straight and level when I make some GPS inputs in choppy air. The Auto Pilot is hooked up to a panel mount Garmin  250XL and I have an I fly gps and an ipad to help keep me from getting lost. I can see where it would be of great help if it allows you to be hands free for just a moment or two too look at a map or make some adjustments in the cockpit
