Hi David,
I know my answer wont be a direct answer since I dont have this AP in my Europa
but I have it my LongEZ. I installed it 10 years ago and it has been flawless.
But I can share my experience with the setup: I set it with the recommended
starting
points in the manual. And when I turned it on in the first test flight it
flew the airplane perfectly.
The setup in a simple unit like this is easy and the manual is fairly clear. And
this leveler is great and gentle. Start with the lowest Activity (gain) setting
and highest torque. The important one for control is the gain. If you test
it with the low setting and it cant keep the wings level or a course just
increase
it a little. If you go up to much it will oscillate the wings specially
in turbulence or when you bump the ailerons. At that point just back of a point
or two. In my case changes in gain made not much of a difference. That is how
good this unit is. It is just very stable. Its better to have the lowest gain
you can get away with that still flies the airplane well.
Once the gain is set back off on the torque until the unit still flies well and
you can override the ailerons. But you can play with it as much as you want with
full torque but be ready to turn it off if something wonky happens which with
this gentle unit I doubt it will.
I bet it will be just fine. Remember that this unit only keeps the wings level
and tracks a course. Those two functions are rather easy to control without much
setup. Now, flying an ILS, thats another story :)
Hope it helps
Chris
