OK guys...were making real progress now......
things are getting worse, but at a slower rate...heh heh...
just kidding. I've got it working...finally....I'll fly it tomorrow to see what it does.
A couple of interesting things though. In AVCS mode, the rudder holds the last rudder stick command. Not a real good idea. And, I had some rudder mixed in with ailerons, so I'll have to inhibit that mix. No problem there, I'll just do all the rudder by hand in the coordinated turns. I guess I can use the AVCS mode for take off, just to lock the heading, but kick it out quickly once the wheels leave the ground. Normal mode makes quick little corrections as the plane is shifted on the bench...I have absolutely no idea what the performance will be like in the air. I'll just fly it and see. Another interesting thing is that my dual rates on the rudder are no longer dual rates. Just one rate no matter which position the switch is in. Weird?
Well thats the latest...I'm pretty excited to see how it works tomorrow....
it'll be a great test too...lots of cross wind forecasted.
Thanks for all the help.
