Note: this is not KR specific I recognize the writer is offering guidance on what worked for him. My next-door neighbor (2000TT, IFR rated flying a C185 with a full panel of gyros and radios) died when he let down through an overcast and ran into a mountain. Unanticipated funerals suck. His wif

Dana is correct about setting up your plane for hands off before you enter the clouds. If you need minor wing leveling when encountering a bump or two just do that. So far my experience has been that the airplane usually does not need much if any input when encountering minor bumps when going th
