I see almost zero discussion on the Levil autopilot. Looking for a simple autopilot solution for my 8 and this seems to fit. Almost all of the youtube is posted by the company. Looking for some user opinions/experiences. Thanks.

It's a clever design, I'm very impressed by it. However... I wonder how much aeroelasticity analysis and/or flutter testing they have done. Apparently it's fine for ultralights and LSAs, but is it safe at 200 knots?
