 Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2014 6:43 pm Post subject: Trim servo question |
 |
|
Vans has the aileron trim servo (Ray Allen) in the left wing and Garmin has the GSA28 autopilot servo in the right wing. The wiring from the Ray Allen has to pass through the Garmin servo. Has anyone put both in the same wing, or is it better to just run wire across the fuselage?

Hadn't seen an answer ....
I see no reason to separate the trim and autopilot servo ..... unless
there's interference in how they attach to the aileron linkage.
I have a different autopilot and trim system so my comment may not be valid.

I think you are right. The mounting kit from Garmin is right wing specific but the Ray Allen servo kit from Vans appears to be ambidextrous...so both in right wing seems the correct thing to do.

As a lefty, I wish I was ambidextrous; it would have made my life much easier 
This actually brings up a point - is it necessary for the autopilot to trim the ailerons? i agree that it's necessary for pitch trim, but not so much, when it comes to lateral control.

I think the autopilot needs to have both roll and pitch authority; as far as the trim function goes, this is the way Garmin has set up their GSA 28 smart servo (power to the Ray Allen trim goes through the Garmin unit). Let me know if I am misunderstanding this.

Just thinking out loud .... Wouldn't the aileron autopilot servo be
using the trim servo to lessen the forces required to hold the aileron
in position? After all, that's what a trim tab does .....
