Michael,
We are aware of the increased leverage the arm has as it approaches perpendicular to the pushrod and will be taking this into account.
Bill,
We never really tried hard to prevent engagement on the ground. An install should not have an issue hitting the stops, so our only concern was the AP turning itself off before you were off the ground, not when you were taxiing. Airspeed achieves this. We use the same logic in our D10A/D100 products that do not always have GPS data.
