Testing the TruTrak Pictorial Pilot autopilot on the ground, it was somewhat disturbing to watch (and listen) to the servo whack itself against the stops over and over.
Is that a non-issue for real use, where it is unlikely you’d be driving continuously against the stops, whereas on the ground it’s trying to turn the airplane and the airplane is not responding ‘cause it’s parked?
Thought I would check with the list first for thoughts . . .

The servo is trying to maneuver the aircraft to the position it is programmed to hold...suggest you hit alt hold and turn the track as close to the heading the AP is set to....I doubt they get that far in flight my stick hardly moves but an inch with the AP on...it works great
