=93Calling all avionics specialists.=94

The 8 year old Navaid Devices Autopilot in my Europa has gone
unserviceable again.

I sent the equipment (display head and servo) back to the manufacturers
in Tennessee (which costs an arm and a leg is transport costs =96 about
=A390) and they repaired the unit, only to have it fail again on its
return, in exactly the same manner, about ten minutes after
re-installation !

Does anyone know of anyone in this country with the necessary expertise,
who can take on the job ?

Obviously, I don=92t want to send it back to the States again, only to
have it fail for a second time, and with the flying =91season=92 upon us,
I=92m looking for a quicker turnaround.

The symptoms are that =93left=94 servo commands are realised, but =93right=94
commands are ignored ! I think that there is some sort of short on the
circuit board.

Oh, I live in S.E. England !!
