I'm about to install the True Track autopilot with altitude hold into my Europa MkI (monowheel) and wondering where best to install the pitch servo.

 Anybody out there who did such an 2 achses a/p installation already? 

 (the roll servo installation seems to be reasonable simple)

 

 Thanks,

 Klaus

Salut Klaus

Comment vas-tu?



Depuis que je suis a la retraite, j'ai repris une activité de pilote largueur de

parachutistes a Chalon sur saone.

je travaille avec mon fils qui a acheté un Pilatus.



Je viens de commander un altitude hold Altrak VS pour mon Europa, je l'ai recu

au jourd'hui.



Une question: j'ai recu l'altitude hold sans le potentiometre de réglage de la

vitesse verticale,juste le bouton de mise en marche, je pense que c'est un

Altrak standard et non pas un Altrak VS, aurais tu une information a me

communiquer a ce sujet?



Merci, si tu passes dans le coin de Chalon n'hésites pas a t'arrêter on a une

station de 95 unleaded a 200m.

On te verra avec plaisir, j'ai déja eu la visite de Michael Scherf la saison

passée.



Salutations

Hi Klaus  

   

I have not seen the True Track autopilot servo but assuming it is no bigger than the Navaid one there is no reason why you shouldn’t use the standard mod I produced for the Navaid servo installation. This uses one of the underseat lockers for the servo with a small hole through the bracing plywood to the torque tube tunnel. See the mod on the club website for details. If you need further assistance come back to me direct at nwcmc(at)tiscali.co.uk

My understanding is that your Europa club mod for  the Navaid servo is for roll as opposed to pitch. 

  

 Presumably the altitude hold would require pitch  input. It would be difficult to modify controls in the cockpit module to fit  such a servo.

  

 Probably much simpler to fit aft of the cockpit  module but in any event a retrofit will be difficult.

If you haven't already looked, there are some ideas  at

 http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/documents/LegacyPitchandRoll.pdf

 although if the bolt shown were to loosen then  the cyclical bending loads could lead to distress. Probably unlikely,  but the consequences of failure here don't bear thinking  about.

If you take a look at:

 http://www.trioavionics.com/literature.htm

  

 If you download the altitude hold document, you can  see how Trio recommend doing it - I think that they say you can't just grab hold  of the elevator push rod as a small proportion of the servos push could be  turned into rotation by the rose joints with the consequence of a system that  spends its life 'hunting'.
