Yes, it is the basic Bell AFCS with pitch and roll wheels and a yaw dial. While I realize it is not an auto pilot I was surprised it would not "hold" the cyclic in a static position. Let go of the cyclic it slowly fell off center (roll right, pitched down). Checked the wheels on the panel, no difference. Also the coolie hat on the cyclic provided no difference in axis control.
