    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.
