Does that auto-pilot also light-up a fag for you in the slow descent?
Recently instaledl a HeliSAS system in my B407. It wont light up for you but might well save your butt in an IIMC encounter. Will fly a nav course and hold altitude, and will fly a coupled approach to minimums with the hardest thing for the pilot to do being keeping hands off the cyclic. Originally intended for R44 but never certified for R44 and probably not practical for R44 even though much lower in cost than typical SPIFR helicopter autopilots.

However, a band aid fix for the real problem!
