Great article. I'd never thought about a spacecraft ADI having a third axis. Sadly, a nitpick - Bill Lear's F-5 autopilot was not, as far as I can tell, in any way connected to the Northrop F-5 fighter jet.

Thanks. You are correct about the F-5 autopilot, so I fixed that. It turns out that it was used in planes such as the C-47, C-60, C-45, and B-26, but is unrelated to the F-5.
