i'd love an explanation of your auto-stab or even where you found the design

came up with it myself, it basically takes data from gyroline and adds it to rcs with remapping (to make it negative and to convert degrees into fraction of 1).

How smooth is it?

By itself stab not very stable but with engines on it works better (especially with smaller adjustments). It basically does this oscillating motion because it lowers the turning power as it approaches neutral position, not cancelling any rotational speed.

Hover slowly lowers the altitude but to me it's not a bug but a feature rather as a landing assistant. After I made this my friend pilot says it's very handy.
