 |
|
Looking back through the archives:
I also have one of the newer Pitch servos. I’m wondering if anyone’s seen how far to screw in the rod end before tightening the jamnut (i.e. length from center of bearing to end of ‘arm’). Tru-track’s online servo install doc’s don’t have any of this info for the newer servo. It probably doesn’t matter but usually there are dimensions for these silly control surface actuation things!

John,
I just installed mine the other night. The TruTrak web site has the dimensions to locate the bellcrank arm attach hole. They said to look at the 7 or 9 installation document as they are the same on all the airplanes. Oh and when replacing the servo arm with the torque enhancer don't remove the little screw on the servo that is off set from the center one that is a shear screw and will break if removed. I have already tested this feature.

Here's the short answer for that question....
Get the new torque enhancer from Trutrak. I can't say that the
original servo was awful on torque, but I did experience something
that felt like slipping. I just got the newest torque enhancer
design last week. It seemed to do better than the first one.
It's a funky design, but I can see why it would give more torque.
Photos attached (these aren't mine but from TruTrak that I used
to install).
If you get one, doublecheck that the allen setscrews are tight
before you install it.
