There is a review of the Trutrak autopilot here
Seems to work well, but that little user interface looks rather fiddly, although the panel space saving will be good for many.
The lack of a trim servo is highlighted; this guy is clearly not used to having that 
I would really miss it. Pitch trim is central to flying…
This is really interesting and I doubt many knew about it
Now, you can hardly fly an IAP covertly, so a lot of flying with a Trutrak autopilot will be very visibly illegal. The whole world will see you on FR24 doing some illegal flying. This is a JOKE, surely…
Also:
And as posted before, no ILS (or VOR) which is a big drawback for IFR in Europe.

Joke: C’mon looks like the ideal AP for an E-IR holder & “VFR in GTN750”?
It is in a worse category than overtly flying an NDB approach but actually with a GPS. That is not illegal. Even if you published a video, they could not get you for it.
This autopilot is illegal for flying approaches, and sure nobody can tell you are not hand flying (actually AP flying is very obvious relative to hand flying, on a radar track, but proving it is another matter) but if you then publish a youtube video showing you doing it (as so many pilots are these days) then you are providing the proof. Or an accident survivor… hard to argue with someone if you are dead.
Now take e.g. the German gross negligence insurance angle… and all of a sudden everything changes.
