  • Aileron Servo placement

    Right wing is a good place to locate aileron autopilot servo, so I would like to see any pics of their installation. I have a convenient spot in mind, but a clean attachment to the bellcrank is eluding me. Would be nice to use the same hole in the arm as the pushrod, but there is a clearance issue with the support tube.

      Brilliant! I initially dismissed the capstan idea because I thought I needed to get to both cables. Nope, it’s a closed loop you just need to grab one.

    I mounted mine under the copilot seat. It is a very accessible place and a good place to tie into the Skyveiw network.

      I know Virgil is working on a adapter plate to mount the servos. Not sure the status as I am not to that point.

          This is the pitch and yaw servo locations, at the last fuselage station. Pitch is a pushrod to the elevator bellcrank and Yaw is bridle cables to each rudder cable.
