I really do enjoy flying this little plane.
It is fantastic for low and slow.
Also with the advantage of landing on water.
Does anyone know if it kitted with an autopilot?
I’m not at home at the moment, so I can’t test it for myself.
Yesterday I did a flight from Leeds to Blackpool in it.
It was a blind flight, since the cloud cover started at around 300 foot.
I only realised that I had arrived at Blackpool, when I was upon the runway.
I was totally manual flying it all the way.
Using my trim to try and keep it level.
I understand that you can download a free Garmin from the market place.
Would this act as an autopilot (if the plane does not have one)?
Cheers.
There have been attempts in the past to incorporate the G3X from the XCub into the Icon and enable autopilot, but the real thing is VFR and hand-fly only. You may be able to find one or two of those mods on flightsim.to…
Thank you for your quick answer.
I suppose a lot of joy can be had from just manually flying anyway.
I certainly enjoyed the challenge.
It is my new favourite aircraft

If you practice, you can get it trimmed for level flight pretty easy. After that, it will only need minor corrections. You can even take your hands off for a minute or two.
Yes that is what I was doing yesterday.
It was fun, because there was a lot of turbulence.
I honestly did not see a thing the whole journey.
The lights of Blackpool runway where a blessing.
I flew at 4000 foot, to avoid any mountains.
