REFLECTOR: BMA Autopilot

[lawrence epstein]

My plan was to use the BMA Sport but use a Truetrak autopilot and a GRT as 
my b/u and MFD. I figured that this would limit the single point failure 
mode (ie; if the BMA died, i would still have an autopilot that would run 
off the GRT or (more likely) my GNS 480).
