Autopilot choices

Post by Velar » Fri Dec 20, 2024 9:34 pm

What autopilot systems are accepted by the LAA these days? I’ve a 450kg 3 axis microlight that is terribly unstable in roll and an utter pig to keep on a fixed heading for any duration.

There's something wrong with your aeroplane, an autopilot will not solve it.
You are talking about an autostablisation system, none of the autopilots available will do that.

Velar,

Out of interest, what is your aircraft type?
Something doesn't sound right with stability..
