    Default Tru-Trak AP

    It’s passable. Just seems like those servo don’t have enough torque to control the aircraft. If it only need small control inputs, such as straight and level flight in relatively smooth air, it does okay. If it has to make large correction in pitch or roll you can hear the servos limiting out on torque and then the clutch breaks free, stick jumps and servo tries to make the correction again.

    Every once in awhile you find some smooth air and it comes in handy.


    I’ve got 260hrs so far on it and that about the best I’ve gotten out of it. 95% of the time I’m enjoying hand flying it, but that other 5% on long cross countries it would be nice to have.

    Might spend some more time trying to solve its issues this winter.

    The support from TruTrak has been good, I’m just too lazy to spend time on the AP. When I have time to work on it, I’d rather just be flying it, so that’s what I end up doing.

    I believe the servo's have plenty of torque. when I first turned mine on it rolled 20 degrees back & forth and climbed and decent @ 500 fpm. I think somewhere there is a setting combination that will work just have to work with it some more.

    Any updates on settings, performance of the TruTrak AP's?

    Thanks,

    I haven't found time to go to Springdale to have TT work on mine. It's only 2 hr flight but seems every time I try to schedule a day weather becomes an issue. I've tried all kinds of settings & pitch is still a crap shoot. no matter what I select it might climb or it might descend.
