Thanks guys. By the time I typed this and posted it I had pretty well decided I must have been flying in the r was the heading wrong mode. No wonder I didnt care for the way it felt. I;m not sure how or where I got it from but I was under the impression that the green light was the rate mode and the other was the heading hold mode. For one thing I was thinking a steady green light was the indication of the preferred mode, seems logical to me anyway. I will reset the gain to around 20 or 25 and try it that way. Not sure what to do with the gain in the heading hold mode, Tempted to go with 0 so if I get in the wrong (heading hold) mode I wont have to fight the gyro. Thanks for the help.
