What do you mean? Troubles with the AP or troubles hand flying it? It does seem sort of sensitive when hand-flying.

Yeah it took me a while to get acquainted with flying it. You'll really have to read the manuals for the Grabowski panel to understand how to use the autopilot because it's not really a download and fly type panel. Then there shouldn't be much of a problem after that, besides hand-regulating the throttle since there is no autothrottle.
