    Moose autopilot

    I have installed a Skyview system with pitch and roll servos. So far I have about 8 hours but only a couple of minutes of AP flight. Is there anyone flying with capstan drives on a Moose that can give some insight on their setup? In my initial test there was a great deal hunt and seek and I...
