Autopilot saga continues...

Apologies to readers for my lack of zeal in creating new entries... not much new is going on.

The autopilot saga continues. After a flight back south to Chino, the heading mode is now active, but unfortunately the gain calibration is still off: the GPSS input is way too weak, causing the autopilot to make corrections at a rate of perhaps 5 degrees per minute - barely perceptible.

Meanwhile, a new pilot may be flying N626FT. Elliot Floersch, CFII/MEI extraordinare will borrow the airplane to fly to Columbia about once a week. A welcome division of the operating costs.

Myself, I'll be starting work on my CFII rating. Let's see how that works out...
