Subject:S-Tec System 20 Autopilot
From:Timothy R. Morris

Anybody have any insight in the ability of the S-Tec System 20 Autopilot
(without the optional yaw damper) to compensate for the yaw instability of a
V-tail Bonanza?

I am concerned the autopilot, depending on how quickly it compensates for
the yaw induced heading changes experienced by the aircraft in turbulence,
the autopilot may set up a Dutch roll type situation requiring it to be
turned off or overridden manually.

Anyone have any insight?
