Well, yes, I am sure if I went through the massive paperwork exercise
and installed something like that, or S-TEC, it would work just fine.

It has to be said that the KFC225 does a super job of controlling the
aircraft, even in pretty bad turbulence. It just keeps packing up. I
am on my 3rd main unit, too (the built-in altimeter and pitch gyro are
prone to packing up)

Speaking of that, were you in on the thread about autopilots and
hijackers? Is it true that autopilots can land airplanes so precisely
that they had to introduce dither so that they didn't wear ruts into
the runways from all of the airplanes landing in the same spot?

Thanks,
