Autopilot Rolls Into Turns Like A Fighter Pilot

No. I'd expect a patch rather than an update in the near future. If you need the fix now, contact Don as he advised in post #75. He'll likely let you be a 'tester'.

Well, 16.4 that includes the fix should be out pretty soon. I don't have a firm release date as yet, but as mentioned if you want to try the fix, let me know.

Thanks Don, yep happy to trial the fix. Have emailed you

An update, it seems the "fix" has worked, at least for me. Finally managed to do some limited testing today in Simple mode. Everything behaved normally with default settings. No problem with Tach time.

“Problem Cause: As for the reason for the Roll AP issue, from Don at Dynon: “They introduced a bug that basically disabled the roll gyro feedback gains, (pitch too, it just didn't show up as much as there is also a vertical speed rate limiter in use)”

‘’Might the pitch gyro feedback gains have anything to do with the slow porpoising I experience?

Sunfish - I have sent a PM to you.

thank you Jake, will check that after I check for the rigidity of my servo mount and elevator cable tension….

Hi Don,

I'm flying a Flight Design CT series.
I would like to participate in testing 16.4 also.
Your excellent tech support is always appreciated.

Thank you.

Don doesn't check in here all that often. You might want to try the Dynon support contact address for a faster response.

The 16.4 release should be out imminently

I see a cut and paste error in the 3rd party config guide, section 3.3.7, p 20 says "To connect and configure the SL40", should be ART833.

Just caught my eye scrolling through the doc quickly...probably others lurking out there.
