My XOT has been flying one year now. 50 2-axis autopilot have been working fine. Only modification is to change tail wheel so that it can be locked. Really nice to have clean rudder control without the tail wheel springs interfering. It is a standard kit from Van's.
All components are brand new from the factory.
It flies superbly with no rudder trim necessary. I set the aileron trim at neutral for the first flight and haven't touched it yet. This will be on Dec. 17, 2003. Lyle Hefel from DuBuque, Iowa was my mentor for this project. We were on our return trip from a breakfast in Havelock, New Brunswick.
