Guys,

I'm running a 720 on Version 8.2.50 connected to a TruTrak autopilot. Usually, it works perfect. Lately however, I've noticed that over the course of say,, a 1 hr. trip, I'll be flying along and out of nowhere, the airplane takes a left or right turn. It will usually get me about 5 or 10 degrees off heading, then go back to the original course to my destination. There's no indication of a GPS signal drop and I have it coupled to the ADSB antenna as well. Ultimately, it will re-intercept and continue on. Usually, this occurrs no more than twice on a 1 hr. trip. Any ideas? By the way, it's done this on the last two previous version of iFly software as well. I'm also running a Skyguard ADSB Tranceiver. Could cell phone Bluetooth cause this? I'll make sure thats disabled on my next trip to rule that out.

Chad

Chad, can you confirm this is fixed in the latest version?

Thanks,

Chad, I'm trying to get my 720 to communicate with my Trutrack. Can you tell me what NMEA sentences you are sending from the GPS?
