I had the MGL Vogager EFIS and used the Trio Servos. I could not get them to
work correctly. MGL Torrance sold them to me, but they told me that Trio was
the problem and Trio told me that the problem was with MGL.
Before you buy an autopilot system for the Europa you need to determine if your
plane flies straight & level. How much force is needed to bring the nose up
or down once it leaves altitude. For whatever reason by plane took more force
to bring it back to level than the Trio servo could deliver and would trip and
shut down after a few minutes of trying. If you go back into this Forum you
find a lot of question on how to get them set up. The roll axles worked and
it was easy to install in the co-pilot seat area. The big problem is the pitch
servo and how it connects to the pitch torque tube. I had to manufacture a
clamp with a horn on it. Europa now makes a pitch tube with the horn welded
to it.
I know that the MGL servos worked very well with the later models of the MGL
EFIS
