Eurochopper, I've never flown the AS332, so I can't comment on how it flies. However, on every other model I've flown, it works just as Shawn says. And he said any speed above minimum power speed - I don't notice much if any difference with airspeed, as long as it's kept constant. Roll into the turn, then neutralize the cyclic, & you'll have a constant bank angle, more or less, depending on turbulence, etc. If you use the Chinese hat to roll into the turn, then generally you just beep to the angle you want & stop. The AFCS will take care of centering the cyclic, however it works on that particular model. Most AFCS systems aren't designed to be flown against; move the cyclic and you'll likely confuse the system. But there are exceptions, & the AS332 may well be one.
