pardon my ignorance, but there has been no mention of altitude in these  
autopilot discussions.  Do these devices only maintain heading by  
controlling the roll?  Is maintaining altitude still manual?

thanks,

  Dave with the mini U2, having recently acquired a partially-built kit,  
i am wanting to see as many completed birds at oshkosk as possible.   
yours sounds great, so i selfishly say:   make the trip.  I look  
forward to meeting you and all the rest of the Europa community that  
will be attending.

best,

Tom Paul
