REFLECTOR: BMA Autopilot - Part 2

[Andy Millin]

I offered the prescribed sacrifices.  The wife did not easily give up our
first born.  She didn't see the value...
 
However, one can never tell if they have fully satisfied the demons until
fuel and altitude have been added.  ;)

Andy,

Watch out for those Demons, they are very persistent. I hope I do not have
to do battle with them anymore. (16 man hours to get rid of the demons last
Friday.)

Have you tried smoke and feathers yet on those demons?

Richard

I won't tell the fuel gods, or the demons of leaking.  But ... what finally
did the trick for you?   (fingers are crossed for you)

Well after going round and round with BMA (but that's another story), we
finally have a working autopilot controller in our XL-FG.  I think I might
have changed too many things at once though.  We were running a G3 with
software version 2.62 and got good autopilot tracking with gains in the 50s.
We've upgraded to version 2.71 and now GPS navigation hunts once it captures
the course.  Anyone else out there using a G3?  What software version and
what are your gain settings?



Thanks,



Craig
