On a related subject: I would like to give a report on a recently
installed Altrak (altitude hold) system in my 235/320. It works
GREAT! I have the small tail and standard elevator trim (added
stronger springs) which is positioned by a MAC servo via a stick hat
switch. I have an old 'Briton' pneumatic wing leveler which will be
replaced by the companion wing leveler system (the least expensive model) when I
can afford it. As I've told others, the Altrak is probably the best
nice-to-have investment I've made on the Lancair. ($1495) Earl
Maybe someone with the MKII tail will respond, or perhaps they have been
rendered speechless by noting the pilot skills required to maintain stable
level flight in a small tailed Lancair.
