A couple of months ago our AI, which had been "coming and going",
finally
went. We replaced it with a rebuilt unit from "The Gyro House", which
had
the dual effect of getting our autopilot working properly again.


Hmmmm... Your landing or Mary's? :-)

Mine. Funny thing was, it was one of my better landings! :-)

A friend of mine says that the gyros inside ride on some sort of a "ruby
bearing" -- and that they eventually wear out. Sometimes the rotor (or
whatever) even falls right off the bearing. When that happens, everything
just stops -- like mine did.

Or something like that. Either way, it's just more money...
