Tom - Are you engaging your AP in flight or on the ground?
My AP controller had to go back for repair (it shipped bad), but I can engage it properly on the ground now (after setting the altimeter to alititude about 1200' AGL) and have it try to "Chase" a heading or ascend/descend per my inputs.

I am also having trouble with my BM Auto Pilot. If I engage it, it simply disengages immediately. No rhyme, no reason.

Craig, if you contact me on doug at customstudio.com I can relate my experience with the BM auto pilot so far.

Anyone out there with Blue Mountain Avionics Autopilot experience? I tried engaging for the first time today and the servos came to life as soon as I applied power to the controller, which is in direct conflict with the book. It says it shouldn't do anything until you "engage" it. When I do try "engaging" it, the servos just jump around, and the display flashes "DISENGAGE". I have a EFIS LIte with 2.23 software. This was all on the ground, although it does the same thing in flight also. Any suggestions?
