REFLECTOR:BMA Autopilot

[S Baker]

Good question.  Since I'm just the "taxi driver" during all of this (the
autopilot trials), I'll ask Greg Richter.  My guess is that the system will
be designed the same for both the XL and the Std.  We know that STC'd
autopilots sometimes have trouble adjusting to the sensitivity of the
Velocity control forces.  Velocity stands to benefit by allowing BMA to do
their AP development work in a Velocity.  When the testing is finished, we
(all Velocity owners with BMA autopilot sub-systems) will be "good to go".
Other aircraft models, such as the RV's, may have some more "fine tuning" to
do.
Best regards,
Scott B.
