S-tec Autopilot Intermittent
Have problems with your aircraft? Maybe just questions about how best to tune or adjust something? Regs or maintenance? Need to know the best way to do something?

Trying to tap this wealth of knowledge before paying someone hourly to troubleshoot. (See the youtube video attached) My Stec autopilot did this for a while a few months back but then has been working perfect since then. Flight I took yesterday, I couldn't get it to turn on. The video is quick just as an example but I left it in test mode for 10 min and it still wouldn't turn on. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had a similar thing happen - Mine was a S-Tec 30 (a little different than yours) and the issue turned out to be the disengage button in the yoke.
I couldn't believe how expensive it was to fix ($2.99 for the switch and 30 minutes shop time).
