Greg,
     Really haven't had much success getting the EZ trim altitude hold system  to work on my 235, but in fairness I have not had the time to try to get the bugs worked out. It is all a matter of priorities and this has taken the back burner.In my view the system seems to over-control and seems to be hunting too much. The variations are about +/_ 100 feet which do not seem to dampen out. I am not sure if it is the altitude sensor in the system, or the programming, or just that the Mac trim is just too slow to be effective. In any event I feel the idea is good and hopefully someone will get this or a similar system working so we can have an altitude system at a reasonable cost.             Jim Farrell

Jim Farrell:  Can you give us a progress report on your installation and testing of the EZ Trim system of altitude hold?  Does it work?  Do you recommend it?    Greg Nelson
