I'm pretty sure this is the correct explanation - even without looking

That sort of depends on what kind of APU it is, and how it is mounted. I

The new pa24-250 is a really nice model, and really nice to (virtually) fly -
nice one Dave! It makes a really nice gradual step up from the c172p/pa28-161.
However, because it's so good, it's likely that you'll get more feedback on
the problems, so here goes...

The J3 Cub could *almost* manage that. Maybe we need a Super Cub option.

This shouldn't really use x, but rather ((x + 1) / 2.0), to map -1..1 to 0..1.
