Autopilot

Actually m problem is both vertical and lateral. If you set it on HDG mode to intercept an airway it reacts like a drunken sailor. It will blow thorugh it, turn back, go through it again while at the same time porpoising +/- 100 feet. When you do a vertical speed climb to intercept a pre-set altitude it does the same thing, blows through and then begins its usual porpoising. Why go to Disney when you can treat the wife and kids to the same excitement while in the air.....

I have spent thousands of dollars trying to get it fixed. Although I am not a huge King fan, the KAP 140 worked lije it was on rails vertically and laterally. Excelent intecepting ability in both dimensions.

I will try the ALT static to see if that helps the vertical performance.
