Gentlemen:
There is a reason that so many die in weather related accidents, they cannot
hand fly the aircraft on instruments, they think they can but when the real
test occurs guess what, unless trained and current or just lucky the result
is NOT favorable! Autopilots have saved lives, but why were they needed??? It
is proven that autopilots can and will fly more accurately than a human for
much longer time, and they don't get vertigo!

Your autopilot solution is great for someone willing to bet his life
and his passenger's life that some computer software can fly a plane
better than he can. For me, a good gyro or two sounds a lot more
attractive.

immediately level the wings. You then punch in the nearest button on
your handheld and the GPS will drive the A/P to take you anywhere you
want to go....Or turn the knob to dial up a new heading and the thing
will turn the airplane around for you with better control than you could
probably manage.

All I really wanted was first-hand experience-based information on glass
panel units. So far nobody has replied on subject who has actually flown
behind one of these units. Lots of untested opinions and a lively discussion
about autopilots, but not much useful so far. Anybody willing to help with
the EFIS / EIS topic?

No, no, no, no. You don't understand. This is the Internet. The guys with
finished planes are out flying, not typing.

Craig, yes that's true, but it's raining today in Georgia.
