Got this email from S-Tec. They have their STC package together for the new 3100 autopilot. When they get enough PO's, they will submit it. Mine's going in today!

3100 Digital Flight Control Systems for the Piper Navajo and Cheyenne (PA-31 and PA-42)
Genesys Aerosystems S-TEC 3100 Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) is a full featured, attitude-based autopilot that gives you a list of workload-reducing and safety-enhancing capabilities that were previously unavailable on aftermarket autopilots. Compatible with advanced digital sources and EFIS displays from Garmin, Aspen and others, the S-TEC 3100 delivers unmatched features and benefits:
• Precise, digital flight control for every phase of flight
• 2-axis and 3-axis systems
• Automatic Trim included
• Envelope Protection/Alerting
• Straight and Level Recovery
• Precision Approaches/Missed Approaches
• Indicated Airspeed Hold
• Altitude Preselect
• And much more!
Genesys is very interested in obtaining an STC for the installation of the 3100 DFCS in the PA-31 and PA-42 Navajo and Cheyenne aircraft. The airframes covered will be the PA-31, PA-31-300, PA-31-325, PA-31-350, PA-31P-350, PA-31P, PA-31T, PA-31T1, PA-31T2, PA-42, PA-42-720, and PA-42-1000. We are looking for 20 owners to kick off this program and would like to get at least 5 PA-42 orders.
For the PA-31 Navajo and Cheyenne, a two axis system is $19,995. The complete 3 axis system, including controller, pitch servo, roll, yaw servos and automatic pitch trim is $24,995. These prices do not include installation.
For the PA-42 the complete 3 axis system, including controller, pitch servo, roll, yaw servos and automatic pitch trim is $34,995 plus installation.
If your aircraft has an S-Tec autopilot installed the price for the upgrade can be as low as $9,995 plus installation. Please contact myself or your S-Tec dealer for details. To participate, contact an authorized S-Tec dealer and have them send us a purchase order for one of the above systems. Be sure to have them copy me (my contact info is shown below).
When we have received 20 POs we will schedule the STC project. We will notify you and your shop when the STC is scheduled and you will have 3 weeks to confirm the order. It will then be subject to our standard cancellation policy.
Now some really good news: As an added incentive Genesys will extend the warranty on all new and installed equipment. For new installations, the warranty will be extended to 3 years for the entire system (1 more year than our standard warranty).
And more good news: For upgrades, the 3100 controller will be warrantied for 3 years and the installed servos will be warrantied for 2 years no matter how old they are!
Please note, the owner will need to submit a warranty registration card within 60 days of installation to receive the additional warranty.
This is not a deposit program. Orders will be invoiced only when the equipment is shipped. (Note: your dealer may require an equipment deposit when the order becomes firm, according to their policies.)
Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
