Thanks for the forum access and info! I’m curious if someone with a floatplane and/or a RANS S7 have had successful use of the autopilot. The new-to-me S7 amphib will not hold heading unless I am doing the rudder dance. It has roll and pitch servos, and elevator trim. I have adjusted rudder cables so the ball stays near center with feet on the floor, and gone through the configuration, test, and in flight tuning. I’ve probably been spoiled by the same setup working great in a C172!
I’m guessing I’ll need yaw damper or roll trim or both. I know it’s a low slow plane that needs input, but I would rather reduce the fatigue factor for a planned PA to AK trip!
Thanks.
