"Cooler in a Carbon Cub"
By David Morris

"I use my auto pilot on trips, but really never activated it until straight and level. Decided to do something a little different tonight on a beautiful 100 mile flight to pick up my grandson.

While on the ground, I set my destination, altitude to 4500, VS to 1000 FPM and pressed the NAV button. Up to this point I did everything but press the AP button to engage the Auto Pilot. Literally as soon as I lifted off, I pressed the AP button to engage the auto pilot. The Cub immediately went to 1000 FPM, which seem shallow, turned to the correct heading and climbed to 4500 ft and leveled off. Other than a minor trim adjustment, it was totally hands off.

Don't know why this fascinates me, as this is exactly what it's supposed to do. I've been flying high performance aircraft for decades and most of the newer ones perform exactly how I described tonight's experience. Somehow it just seems so much cooler in a Carbon Cub!"
