REFLECTOR: Dynon Autopilot

[Peter Braswell]

David,
That's a great question and one that I'm hesitant to answer as I don't have
any direct experience with the AP serves and the heat.  Looks like a couple
of folks have chimed in and have indicated that this works just fine.  As
most of the servo technology is basically the same (just a stepper motor),
I'm speculating that Dynon would give similar performance.  I do know that
some manufacturers (Trio in particular) put micro controllers in their
servos, so that might be a factor too.  I'm not sure if Dynon has a Mc in
their serves, but I don't *think* they do.

Seems like a great place for them though …

-Peter
