> "As to the other part about stressing the plane, at least in the case of a KR, they are pretty tough and in any case there is always staying below maneuvering speed . . ."
As soon as I'd sent the email I realized I'd left out that extremely important point . . . to slow down. I wish my Juno email was more idiot-proof. I followed that first email with an addendum regarding slowing down, something I'd left out of the first email in my haste to hit the "send" button. The second email got sent to my own email instead of KRNET, so that point you make got left out. Yes, getting down to maneuvering speed is extremely important. Re an autopilot and artificial horizon, some of them have an artificial horizon as part their system. That's probably what your Chaptyer president was thinking of. TruTrak had one that incorporated the ADI (which is what I use for attitude reference) and if one of these systems had ever come up used I surely would have bought it, but they're rare. Their other autopilot systems were more popular. In any case, if the autopilot system has an AI included, turning off the servos wouldn't necessarily affect your attitude reference - depends on which system you've got. Having an attitude reference is essential in any case. They're getting amazingly inexpensive - all of the electronics are for we who fly Experimentals.
