wellington Autopilot

[Fox3Japo32]

Ok, I don't know what I am doing wrong.. but this is not working as the flashcard says..

1. I put the plane wings leveled and pitch leveled the direction I want to fly. 

2. Put the gyro to 0.

3. activate heading mode, but the plane starts to turn, sometimes to 210º others to 180º

 

I imagined that it is turning to the active waypoint? I cannot make it follow to the 0º of the gyro. Any clues? 

Thanks!

Try aligning the large compass with north 1st, either by mouse click or assigning keys. Then put the gyro compass to 0 and it should hold your course in 'Heading Mode'.

When going to 'Mode 22' autopilot you will likely experience a drop in altitude. Flying as level and stable as possible for a period before going Mode 22 can help alleviate this.
