[C320-list] autopilot MkII vs S1 and putting the 'S' back in 'ailing

[Kirk McCullough]

Bruce

The cruise speed A setting is only if you have a knotmeter interfaced to the 
pilot as I recall, otherwise put in a number that represents your normal 
cruising speed. I have mine set at 6. I understand you are in the southern 
hemisphere so sth is good.

I have also used response set at 1, and drive type to 1. This works well 
too.

Once every couple of years the unit loses its settings for unexplained 
reasons, then we start making "esses" and i pull out the manual and my notes 
and set it all up again. Its the 4000+. Its been very good to us.
