Heli Auto Pilot Gauge

[Wild Man]

Hi Guys

Do any of you Heli guys use the Heli Autopilot gauge?

[TomH]

Sorry, not me.

I'm a hands-on kinda' guy ;D ;D ;D

[Frank Seigler-KE5ETD]

Yep, I do. Wouldn't fly helos otherwise. It is a bit squirrely, sometimes it works great and other times it won't work at all.

[Joe Deering- KA4GBC]

I'm a hands-on type myself, but there have been times I have used it.
Like Frank said, sometimes it is squirrely!
I use it sometimes on the very long hauls, but I prefer to be hands-on.

That would be like flying "with training wheels on".........

Next he'll be asking about the auto hover guage..... ( and to think he had so much promise too.) heheh.......... ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D

I have a Panel with both Autopilot and Auto Hover
I used to use the auto hover to land.

NOT NO MORE! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I agree with using AP on long flights ....... my thoughts would be if ya going ya use AP all the time ya might as well be flying a 747 at fl35.

What I like about helicopters is getting up close and personal with earth.

(typical nature photographer eh!)

Now that would be cool A MD500D for a nature photographers get about the bush wagon! ;D ;D ;D ;D
