Huh? The side stick is in your left (dominant) hand. For the very short
periods of time you need to write something down, then it should stay
put if properly trimmed without needing an autopilot.

I've flown (as it happens in a Bonanza) quite a lot of single pilot IFR
hours without an autopilot. They always stay pretty much put in the
times when I'm not touching the controls to do things like re-fold
charts etc.


My cherokee 140 won't stay put well enough to my liking. Even though
I have an autopilot, I prefer to be able to fly with my right hand while
writing with my left.

Perhaps a question is: is the SR22 stable enough in roll?

The [Cirrus] side stick is in your left (dominant) hand. For the very short
periods of time you need to write something down, then it should stay
put if properly trimmed without needing an autopilot.


I flew a cirrus once (about an hour's worth) and found that the pitch
trim was very sensitive. It's also all-electric, so you can't tweak it
by hand. So, if the air is a little bumpy, it may need more attention
than usual to keep altitude manually.
