During the test flight after installation, I have a couple of observations and questions.
The vertical modes and altitude hold seemed to work fine. When you've selected the vertical mode/altitude on, is the autopilot also turning on a lateral mode as well?
The roll mode was a different story. The autopilot followed the heading bug, but a couple of times in light turbulence, the stick whipped back and forth after rolling out on the selected heading, left to right about 1/2 a dozen times before settling down. I assume this is a function of the gain setting, but which way should I go? Reduce the gain or increase the gain? The initial setting was .50
Thanks for your response,
Mike
