Before we found our 66 Aztec C model with it's STEC 60-2, we
considered a 65 C with an Altimatic II that was inoperable. I called Autopilots Central and discussed this autopilot with Bob Ferguson. He took plenty of time and explained the problems with the Altimatic II and didn't simply brush me off. His recommendation was to totally discount this autopilot, even it was fully functional. He said that we'd be looking for a replacement just as soon as we had our first problem with it. I have a friend with an Altimatic III in his Aztec and he hasn't any problems, plus it's still serviceable by most shops. YMMV Jim Burns |

![]() I wonder if the upgrade to an STEC would be relatively easy, if the servos are already in place? wrote in message ups.com...

Bob Ferguson would know the best route for you to follow. His email and
contact info are at http://www.autopilotscentral.com/contact.htm He's a straight shooter. You'll find his name, recommendations, and accolades in the archives of many newsgroups. Jim |
