DGs and Autopilots

Having said that, I would urge you to consider an autopilot that does
not use a DG. STEC makes them. They work very well. The big advantage
is if you loose vacuum, your all electric autopilot continues to work.
Big safety factor in IMC.

I know what you're saying, and I agree. Our current ARC AP model, and the
STEC model under consideration, are both rate-based. The DG is merely
providing HEADING information (ie. the setting of the bug).
