Me, the pilot

I flew up to Banda Aceh in an Airvan today and I was the only one on the flight besides the pilot. After we had taken off, he started doing some paperwork and I asked if the plane had an auto pilot. He said, "Yeah, you!" So I started flying without any instructions. After a few minutes I had it pretty figured out. It wasn't too hard except since it was a pretty small plane with no rudder trim, while we were climbing it pulled left a little. I flew about half the flight before he took back over. No, I didn't take off or land. I'm pretty sure that is still beyond me.
