April 13, 200422 yr Hello,I am new to the CRJ (WILCO). I read the manual and tried the test flight. I have a few glaring problems.1. On my first few flights, while I am at altitude (say (FL100)the aircraft goes into a stall - just starts to fall out of the sky. It is always under Autopilot control when it happens. It just goes nose up and stalls. I'm sure that I am doing something wrong here but I don't know what it is. (PITOT is on)2. I don't seem to get "Speed" control via the autopilot when I engage it. I don't see an A/T engage - just a button on the AP for SPEED. I enter the speed and press the button but to no avail - Again, probably something I'm missing here! The HDG and ALT work fine.3. The last is the use of the FMS. I am pretty good with the "device" in Boeing 737 and Airbus aircraft. I tried to read the manual(s) but did not see how to engage the FMS once I want it "on-line" and in control. I can enter the waypoints and can see them on the display(s) but I don't know how to engage the unit.Thanks in advance,Ron Sagel
