Let me get this straight:

Mode 1 (course autopilot): Only uses elevators to turn. Used to fly a selected heading by comparing the gyrocompass to the selected heading.

Mode 2 (R22): Controls all three axis and levels the artificial horizon, only turns using the rudder. It still needs a working gyrocompass.

Is this true?

Very interesting, since keeping the wings level will result in a smoother ride during the bomb run. If so, He111 here i come
