One of the best altitude hold (dual axis) autopilots is the Trio Pilot Pro.
Excellent full details are on the Trio web site.
I was in correspondence with Paul Mitchell, the UK agent for Trio last
December and he was in touch with Andy Draper of the UK Light Aircraft
Association which were in the process of giving it approval for the Europa.
The relevant correspondence copied to me was:

Hi Paul,
Europa are on the verge of launching Mod 76 which covers the altitude hold
aspect (awaiting flight test results) and the wing leveller part is covered
by the recently introduced Mod 75. Mod 75 effectively replaces SM10507
which has been around for a while now. They've opted for in-house mods to
cover the rest of the world.
Mods 75 and 76 will be treated as Facory Options now, but both will require
inspection checks and flight test autorised by LAA Engineering issued PFRC
(as laid down in the mod leaflets).

Andy,
What is the currant position in fitting a PP into a Europa.Is it a standard
mod yet.
Any info gratefully received.
Paul
Note the reference to *in-house mods for the rest of the world*.
You will find it is a very neat and light weight unit at modest cost
compared to the competition. However, I do not speak from experience. I
plan to purchase it probably later this year after it has been approved by
the LAA.
