FCS goes stupid after rearming

For refueling and rearming the plane needs to be shut down when it comes back up master arm is beeping and the FCS goes stupid, the plane is bobing much longer (LEF are dropping up/down) even ~500 -600 kph. Rearm the second time it gets even worse.

 

Is this a bug or I miss something?

The Mig-29 does have an SAS system which does require alignment, roughly ~2 minutes after startup, any startup, including after complete shutdown. You can tell because a red light will blink on your annunciator panel which states that it is aligning. When it is almost aligned, it will extinguish and the 'Damper' light on the autopilot panel will start to blink. After that light is solid green, then you're ready to taxi and take off.

Without this SAS system, you get about the behavior you're describing as it will have no basis on which to control or trim the aircraft for you. If this happens, the best thing to do is disable the damper and hand-fly the aircraft.

 

To prevent having to align every rearm, simply leave the electrical system on and only shut down the engines to rearm to maintain your previous alignment.
