Thanks for the tips! I'd be interested to hear from folks who have these
things -- do they hunt all over, or can that be damped?

The Autocontrol III in my Archer has switches that allow it to track a VOR, the
LORAN, or the GPS. The LORAN and the GPS (Garmin 430) do a better job of
flying a heading and not wandering but I wouldn't say the the VOR is bad. If
you are tracking a VOR that is distant and the signal is weak, you might be
better to watch the needle and use the heading bug, but if you are close (30
miles) and have a good signal, there isn't much of a problem. Get a 430 though
and you will think that you are on rails!
