Hi David,
I know my answer wonâ??t be a direct answer since I donâ??t have this AP in my
Europa but I have it my LongEZ. I installed it 10 years ago and it has been
flawless.
But I can share my experience with the setup: I set it with the recommended
starting points in the manual. And when I turned it on in the first test flight
it flew the airplane perfectly.
The setup in a simple unit like this is easy and the manual is fairly clear.
And this leveler is great and gentle. Start with the lowest Activity (gain)
setting and highest torque. The important one for control is the gain. If you
test it with the low setting and it canâ??t keep the wings level or a course
just increase it a little. If you go up to much it will oscillate the wings
specially in turbulence or when you bump the ailerons. At that point just back
of a point or two. In my case changes in gain made not much of a difference.
That is how good this unit is. It is just very stable. Itâ??s better to have
the lowest gain you can get away with that still flies the airplane well.
Once the gain is set back off on the torque until the unit still flies well and
you can override the ailerons. But you can play with it as much as you want
with full torque but be ready to turn it off if something wonky happens which
with this gentle unit I doubt it will.
I bet it will be just fine. Remember that this unit only keeps the wings level
and tracks a course. Those two functions are rather easy to control without
much setup. Now, flying an ILS, thatâ??s another story :)
Hope it helps
Chris
