iLevil AP

iLevil AP

From: $2,770.00

Aviation Grade AHRS Technology with your new cost-effective Auto Pilot solution!

A game changer for all light-sport and experimental aircraft. Fly stress-free with one of the most affordable and easy-to-install autopilots available in the market today. Heavy servos are a thing of the past, our lightweight design uses trim-tab technology to control pitch and roll from your smartphone or tablet in addition to all your avionics.

I REALLY WISH this was an option when I built my CH750 STOL.  My Garmin Auto Pilot cost over $10 000 for supply and install.  God help me if anything ever goes wrong with it as I wouldn’t have the first clue where to start on getting it fixed – I would need to fly back to Essendon and pay the avionics technicians $125/hour to sort it out for me.  This new Levil AP system is so easy to install and operate that it would only take 10 minutes or so for the whole job.

GET READY TO ENGAGE, SIT BACK, AND NAVIGATE WITH THESE AUTO-PILOT FEATURES!

  • Heading Mode. It uses the internal compass and GPS to hold a heading
  • Altitude Mode. It climbs to, descends to, or holds an altitude
  • Vertical speed indicator
  • Turn and slip indicator
  • Flight Plan Steering. It follows a flight plan by using an external navigation app, such as, iFlyGPS (more to come in the future)
  • HOLD. It will automatically keep the airplane flying at the current heading and altitude
  • Auto Envelope Protection. When the autopilot is off, trim tabs are still active. The system will correct for excessive or unwanted pilot inputs beyond a roll or pitch limit
  • Auto Trim. Since the system works with trim tabs, auto trim is built-in to the autopilot. No additional installation required. The airplane will always be in trim following autopilot disconnect

Another feature that I really like about this AP system is that it does not interfere with your primary control systems in any way.  A piece of mind on every flight using trim tab technology! This is a safe way to control your airplane since it is not locked to your control system, and it can be easily overridden by applying a minor force to the desired heading.

Description

There are hundreds of satisfied customers operating a range of Levil Avionics products in all sorts of aircraft.

Cut out the wires and the weight – enjoy the benefits of flying an Experimental aircraft grab yourself a modern solution.  There is SO MUCH TO LOVE about this solution:

Transmit to six displays, set each up with any combination of flight instruments, engine data (another module is needed for this – it takes the engine sensor data and converts it to serial data for the iLevil AP unit to interpret and transmit to you tablet – this unit is available right here), ADSB – In traffic (weather information is not available in Australia – the technology is not supported by CASA) and data recording.

Use real pitot static information and constantly updated applications to add more and more features to your cockpit.

The Levil range of products (flight instruments) have been chosen because of how well they integrate with the GRT and the Wapsi Aero EIS (engine monitoring) and Trig VHF/Transponder (communications).  This combination represents the best value ‘complete panel’ that I can find.  It is all very powerful, fully featured and easy to integrate.  It’s a ‘plug and play’ as I can make it.  All of this gear is light weight, draws very little power and will exceed your expectations in value for money.  Plus, it’s all so compact that there’s plenty of room in your panel if you decide to go ‘mainstream glass’ at a later point down the road – you can use this gear as the ultimate fallback equipment.  It’s a great way to get flying quickly and economically.  My bet – you’ll love it and never change a thing.

This purchase already includes the unit and the two servos, plus a standard GPS and ADSB-In antenna.  Please advise if you want the high-speed (90 – 150 knots) or the low speed (50 – 100 knots) servos.

PRICE WARNING:  Levil have made the difficult decision to add a Tariff loading to all of their prices, and as it is a tariff (not a tax) – they must absorb that cost, which means must we.  As per their website – it’s such a dynamic situation that keeping prices updates on the SHOP page is very intensive.

ALL ORDERS WILL BE TAKEN AS A REQUEST FOR A QUOTE ONLY.  I’m sorry – but the price displayed will not be the price you pay.  Place the order, but please do not transfer any money.  I will check the prices with Levil and send you a standard quote for you to check and you can pay then.  This sucks, but that’s the best I can without loading prices out of control.
