Murray sibbeston Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 My 2006 Ctsw has dual dynon screens but came without autopilot. I assume I should go with dynon servos but wonder if there is a kit I can buy with all the hardware needed? I will need to do the installation myself so I’m hoping it’s not very complicated to integrate and wire up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Murray You will need to the autopilot controller (i think AP74) This is discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moliterno Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 I recently installed a full Dynon system and autopilot into my 2006 CTSW. I found out from Flight Design USA that when CTSW's came off the line without autopilot the installation points for the servos were not enhanced. The area under the pilot seat where one of the servos are came with the standard core material. Here are the instructions Flight Design USA gave me along with some pictures from my installation. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AEtumRfEaY2Z-OQ&id=5EFBEF8844C840F8!2624&cid=5EFBEF8844C840F8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray sibbeston Posted August 13 Author Report Share Posted August 13 That’s very good to know. What did it end up costing for all material and servos? How did the wiring and integration with the dynon go? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moliterno Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 I don't have detailed costs, the HDX System was purchased as a whole with the install from one of the Dynon approved installers. The carbon fibor work was completed as a whole including the servoes, antanna installs, OAT and working on the panel so I could fit two 10 inch HDX displays.

Tip Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 Is it possible to install 10” Skyviews in a factory SW mushroom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BravoFoxtrot Posted August 14 Report Share Posted August 14 I believe if you measure it you will find it is too narrow for the 10" Skyviews. Jim Mead replaced his mushroom with one from a CTLS. I am hoping he will reply to this question as he has the most knowledge on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray sibbeston Posted September 1 Author Report Share Posted September 1 Sounds like a lot of cost. So maybe installing a totally separate autopilot is cheaper if there is an issue with my 2006 era dynon. Thanks for the reply’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
