This turn-key kit contains everything you need to install your 3 1/8” autopilot instrument. The box contains:
- SuperECO STAND ALONE AUTOPILOT
- AILERON Trimtab Assembly. Includes servo, counterweight, and Double-sided Tape
- ELEVATOR Trimtab Assembly. Includes servo, counterweight, and Double-sided Tape
- Standard wire harness
- AILERON servo 20’ extension cable
- ELEVATOR servo 25’ extension cable
- Standard Spare Parts kit. (extra servo connectors, cotter pins, servo arms)
- Black Brass 6-32 x ¾” instrument fixing screws
- GPS antennae
- USB to Mini-USB charging and software update cable.
- 1 year Warranty
Note: Different configurations may be set up for different types of aircraft. These include different extension lengths, trim tab sizes, hinges, and pushrods.
SuperECO features:
• LEVIL powered trim tab technology for roll and pitch.
• Heading mode (Magnetic Heading only certain instrument installations)
• Track Mode (uses internal or external GPS. Magnetic adjusted heading)
• VS mode. Climb/Descend or maintain a preselected altitude following constant Vertical Speed.
• IAS mode. Climb/Descend or maintain a preselected altitude following constant Indicated Air Speed.
• GPS Steering with external NMEA GPS
• CDI Navigation. CDI needle controlled by external NMEA GPS or optional RS-232 connection to Garmin SL-30 NAV/COM, shows CDI and GS (DAY VFR GUIDANCE, IFR NOT APPROVED).
• HOLD function. Will automatically keep the airplane flying a hold pattern. Hold entries are automatically calculated. The autopilot will fly an indefinite number of patterns until cancelled.
• ARC function. Will fly a DME arc around a GPS waypoint (from a NMEA external GPS). Can optionally exit the arc at a specified end course, ex. Runway track.
• Auto Envelope Protection. When the autopilot is off, trim tabs are still active. The system will correct for excessive or unwanted pilot inputs beyond a roll or pitch limit.
• Auto Trim. Since the system works with trim tabs auto trim is built-in the autopilot. No additional installation required. The airplane will always be in trim following autopilot disconnect.
• Autotuning. Autopilot software will autotune flying parameters for each different aircraft (COMING SOON).
This is a 3 1/8” SuperECO instrument without Autopilot servo output.
All in one instrument that can be used as a backup for your EFIS or as a primary means of navigation in an experimental aircraft.
