I found the comments about the S-TEC and its oscillation phenomena
particularly interesting.  I'm running a Naviad AP and Wing Leveler and see
the same type of behavior, especially above approx. 8,000'.  When the WL is
turned on, it rapidly oscillates L/R.  

I really didn't have a clue what was wrong and hadn't had it looked at yet,
but now I wonder if this is, in fact, the same thing that occurs in the
S-TEC.

Has anyone had a similar behavior with the Navaid?   Solution?   Is this
problem likely similar/same as with the S-TEC?
