I’ll forward a picture next time I’m at the hangar. pass on a cell number for a text photo. Ross

Keven, the glare shield is most definitely the overhang of the dashboard. The white lights would be mounted under to illuminate everything below in white light. They may have been removed by a previous owner? Hopes this helps. Ross

The Meyers 200 does have electric trim available as an option when installing the Century autopilots such as the 2000. And, it’s been installed in the latest Garmin installation just last month.

Peter, your plane originally had the Brittain autopilot correct? The Century A/P is a very different installation since its servos are electric instead…[Read more]

The challenge of any other avionics shop doing this is their local FSDO approving it. Stein is a very large and professional avionics shop that goes above and beyond when doing avionics installations. This includes full wiring diagrams, so other places can do repairs or upgrades far easier. This is just one of the reasons why they’re able to get…[Read more]
