I have just purchased a new Jabiru SP 120, i had a EFIS 180 + a AP74 installed. When I activate the AP the aircraft flies for about one or two minutes and then starts banking to the right and starts a steep spiral.
always to the right. This is with HDG and ALT engaged.
Any ideas will be appreciated :eek:

The number one thing to check is that your servos are not slipping.   

If the HDG and ALT indicators are showing up in yellow boxes, that indicates a slip and torque must be increased.

100% torque is fine as long as you are comfortable with the stick force needed to override the servos.

The install guide has more details on servo setup.
