My plane has an S-Tec 20 single-axis autopilot. Its flaw is that it is not very assertive, so if I hit a bump and a wing is low, it will correct to level flight very slowly, leading to being a few degrees off course. Then it will very slowly slalom and never get back to the magenta line.
Is this a common complaint? Is it an adjustment that was just not done right a few owners back when the autopilot was installed? I don’t want to take the plane to an avionics shop if there isn’t a good chance of real improvement.
