Just to chime in here with a me too, the altitude hold on the Rascal110 also
seems to be broke. Something seems to be overriding the target altitude
values and/or the mode selection, so the F11 autopilot dialog can't control
these. Similar problem with target airspeed.
The wing leveler and heading hold modes do seem to work. I haven't had a
chance to investigate, but this is pretty recent breakage.
