I've been attempting to do this with the HE-111, but the wobbling back and forth in course mode goes on infinitely for me
I align the gyro compass with mag compass, then align the desired course with the gyro, engage course mode, and the plane banks left, turns 5 or 10 degrees, then turns back towards the desired course, passes it, goes 5 or 10 degrees beyond the desired course, the turns back to the left again, over and over, and never settles - constantly passing the desired course by 5-10 degrees....
I even tried turning up the the time compression and watching it for what was probably the equivalent of 5 minutes and it never settled on a course.
Any thoughts?
