I recently purchased the L-1011 pro and am trying to get used to this aircraft. Can anyone recommend any tutorials on using the autopilot. I'm finding it a bit frustrating. So far after takeoff on climb out I engaged the autopilot and then the nose pitched up and the aircraft stalled. Another time I'm trying to get used to using the FMS which I just got working and again the aircraft starts climbing for no reason that I can figure out as yet and stalls. So any information would be helpful. In the mean time guess I'll keep trying and using the trial by error method.

There's a step by step tutorial flight in the manual starting on page 123, configuring the autopilot starts on page 130.

Thanks for the information. I saw the tutorial but haven't gone through it completely. Currently I'm flying out of KDEN so the altitude seems to have an effect on this aircraft that I wasn't expecting. On takeoff at 6,000 ft the aircraft is extremely slow to accelerate and slow on climb out. Which is probably I'm having trouble getting the autopilot set.
