Does anyone have a flying -10 with a Dynon Skyview with good autopilot settings then can share?  Mine works great in calm air, but chases altitude and sometimes course in turbulence more than I expect.  I'm pretty site it's just settings.



Thanks

Mike,



I have never changed the SkyView default setting.  It has worked perfectly for me.  Any chance something else is going on?

I would like them too. I haven't even messed with settings at all yet. It does pretty good, but wanders a little.

The main thing i change has been the Sensitivity setting. Too low a 

sensitivity causes the wandering. Too high causes some jerkiness esp. in 

turbulence.



For smooth air lately, mine is currently set to roll sensitivity = 9 and 

pitch sensitivity = 8. I think 10 was the default. This has worked well 

for me in smooth air so far. I have yet to try this in turbulence. I am 

hoping this is a good compromise setting for both calm air and light 

turbulence.



In smooth air, higher sensitivities hold targets precisely but lower 

settings cause the AP to wander too much.



In turbulent air, lower sensitivities feel smoother with some wandering 

but higher sensitivities cause too much jerkiness as the AP tries to 

hold its targets too aggressively.



My 2c.

Jae
