CE Avionics is located on Orlando-Sanford Airport. They work on everything, with an orientation toward corporate aircraft. Among other things, they have an excellent autopilot man. He can usually do bench repairs on Century II and III control units. If you are sure that’s where a problem lies, you can pull it from the panel and mail it in. They can perform diagnosis and repair on the bench, and mail it back. There is a huge nearby Flea Market, and a loaner car is sometimes available for short jaunts. Rentals are available at the nearby Terminal, and Sanford is an easy drive from all the Central Florida attractions, for longer stays. You can taxi up from the runway side. Contact info is:
