4. What firmware version should i choose?

If your AP120 uses an earlier version than 1.0.454, then you choose "AP120 Upd. 1.0.x - 1.0.482".

If your AP120 uses version 1.0.454, then you need to choose "AP120 Upd. 1.0.454 - 1.0.482".


Please note:If you're upgrading from an earlier version than 1.0.454, then your autopilot will restart twice during the upgrade process. This is normal behaviour.

5. My rudder is doing a lot of unnecessary correction on my new AP120, is it defective?

AP120 contains self-learning algorithms that calculate your rudders work-speed. It is normal that the rudder will give abnormal corrections in the beginning until the autopilot has calibrated your rudder. Using the autopilot will make the miscorrections go away after a while and provide optimal rudder control.
