There's an autopilot in our club archers and dakota, but I almost never
use them. For one thing I feel like a passenger if I don't have my hand
on the wheel, and for another, I treat every flight as a training
flight. I don't see how one can remain proficient when George has all
the fun. I just like to hand-fly, even on long flights.

That said, a simple wing leveler is great to have while copying an IFR
clearance, or folding maps, or any time the load factor gets a bit high.
If you do much IFR, a simple George is nice to have.
