im hoping to get a crack at them in the next couple of years as a coey.
SAS is Stability Augmentation System. It's rate feedback for stability. I didn't fly with any of the autopilot functions like attitude hold. I turned trim off and pretty much just flew it. No way was I going to let the autopilot have any of the fun on my 4 hours.
