Will Award System During Lakeland Fly-In
S-Tec announced this week the
company is celebrating its 30th anniversary by giving a lucky
aircraft owner a new S-Tec System Thirty two-axis autopilot during
the 2008 Lakeland Fly-In, which runs April 8 through 13 in
Lakeland, FL.
"The System Thirty is one of our most popular autopilots for
general aviation aircraft. It not only provides pilots with many of
S-Tec’s most sought after features, it does so in a compact,
panel-mounted unit," explained Greg Plantz, S-Tec V.P. Sales and
Marketing. "The capabilities, functionality and reliability of the
System Thirty makes this just one example of the type of products
that have made S-Tec the world’s number one supplier of
autopilots to the general aviation aftermarket since 1982."
The S-Tec System Thirty includes a long list of features,
including:
- VOR/LOC/GPS Tracking
- Roll Stabilization Mode
- Altitude Hold Mode
- Heading Pre-Select and Hold Mode
- Pitch Trim Annunciation, and more
The System Thirty also offers popular options including:
- Control Wheel Mode Select
- GPSS (GPS Steering) Converter
- Manual Electric Trim
"S-Tec has enjoyed a number of
industry firsts during our 30 year history," Plantz said. "Because
the System Thirty is STC’d in over 450 different aircraft, we
decided that giving an aircraft owner one of the most popular
autopilots in all of general aviation is the perfect way to
celebrate this milestone."
Aircraft owners can enter into S-Tec's drawing by filling out a
card at their booth (#D11-13) during the annual spring fly-in and
convention. The winning aircraft owner's name will be drawn on
Saturday, April 12, 2008 at noon. The winner will be notified by
S-Tec.
The winner must own an airplane that is STC'd for the System
Thirty. An authorized S-Tec dealer must perform the installation.
The System Thirty grand prize does not include the cost of the
autopilot installation into the customer's aircraft.
If the winning person does not own a qualifying airplane, that
entry will be disqualified and another name will be drawn.
