Just had a Bendix Aerocruze 100 installed in my Arrow and my first impressions are simply NO Thank you.

1.When you activate the autopilot is supposed to hold altitude and track. Holding altitude is laughable and it does this crazy right turn before it tries to come back to the initial track.
2. When executes climbs or deccents is extremely sluggish and it does not follow the setting per minute on climbs or decents.
3. When you try to deccent it also tries to climb before eventually tries to descent.
4. Everything is just on a time delay.
5. The only thing that does very well is GPSS. It follows the GPS with NP.
My Installer promised me that next week will work with Bendix to see what adjustments need to be done but for now this where I am.
