In Response To: WE ARE MISSING SOME CRITICAL ISSUES!! (Dave Chase P15 #1074, Lk MI)

The original post was not about autopilots pro or con, but about meeting their electrical requirements. I think self steering is a pretty good option too, but autopilots have their uses, and many P19s are fitted with them to their owner's satisfaction.

An autopilot on a P15 may be a bit over the top for the average owner, but I can see no harm playing with one.
