It is all a matter of priorities and this has taken the back burner.In my view the system seems to over-control and seems to be hunting too much. The variations are about +/_ 100 feet which do not seem to dampen out. I am not sure if it is the altitude sensor in the system, or the programming, or just that the Mac trim is just too slow to be effective. In any event I feel the idea is good and hopefully someone will get this or a similar system working so we can have an altitude system at a reasonable cost.
