Yes Trio has a good reputation.
Only the roll autopilot mod (SM 10507) was approved by the LAA directly.
The Roll Autopilot became Europa Mod 75 and I documented the Altitude hold
as Europa Mod 76. Mod 76 does not cover the auto trim feature of the Trio.
Mike Parkin is, I believe, experimenting with the auto trim but I have not
heard what progress he has made. Francis Donaldson has some reservations
regarding autopilots and electric pitch (see this months LA article). As my
aircraft uses the TruTrak servos, I cannot do the work on this directly. If
someone is making progress I will be happy to feed this back into the Europa
mods.
