I can certainly incorporate this experience into my Europa set up!

Start with the lowest Activity (gain) setting and highest torque. The important one for control is the gain. If you test it with the low setting and it cant keep the wings level or a course just increase it a little. If you go up to much it will oscillate the wings specially in turbulence or when you bump the ailerons. At that point just back of a point or two. In my case changes in gain made not much of a difference. That is how good this unit is. It is just very stable. Its better to have the lowest gain you can get away with that still flies the airplane well. > > Once the gain is set back off on the torque until the unit still flies well and you can override the ailerons. But you can play with it as much as you want with full torque but be ready to turn it off if something wonky happens which with this gentle unit I doubt it will. > > I bet it will be just fine. Remember that this unit only keeps the wings level and tracks a course. Those two functions are rather easy to control without much setup. Now, flying an ILS, thats another story :) > > Hope it helps > Chris > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=511477#511477 > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
