Slaving autopilot to a VOR?

I suspect what you have is something like a Piper Autocontrol? Two axis?

You

mean it has altitude-hold?


Hmm. I thought 3-axis was altitude-hold? Whatever, all mine does is hold
the wings level, and follow the bug...

You're right. In common usage, wing-leveler plus heading mode equals a two-axis
autopilot. I've always rebelled against that usage. To me an axis is
roll-pitch-yaw. Unless the autopilot controls two of those, it's a one-axis
autopilot... but I'm swimming against the tide.


Thanks for the tips! I'd be interested to hear from folks who have these
things -- do they hunt all over, or can that be damped?
