Hey there, is there any chance of the altitude fix? This plane is soo great, but its just un flyable without autopilot. All f35 models seem to have a problem with altitude hold, keeps going up and down dropping and gaining few thousand feet.

I read the manual saying there is a problem with it, but are you working on a fix?
