Hello,



I am installing my elevator trim servo. I am finding that it does not line up well with access hole. The measurements look

the same as on the prints (cut out and predrill holes from ZAC).

I am thinking that it is done this way to center the control arm of the servo as close to the center of the elevator trim as possible 

without being to close to the rib. (does this sound reasonable?). One of the photo guides pages shows the servo off center too, so I am thinking everything must be right and it is the way it is.

Ernie,



I also had a problem with this.  It seems that the servo that the photo guide was based on is not the one you got with your kit.  It has to do with which side is up, because the actuator is not on the centerline of the body of the servo.  The access hole location is based on a servo with the actuator offset to the opposite side.  I called ZAC and they admitted the error (which it appears they have not corrected).  I cut an oversize hole to be able to readily access the servo and ZAC sent me an oversize coverplate to make up the difference.

Hello Ernie,



That's the same way it worked out for my 601 elevator that I build

last spring. If I had done it myself I would have aligned the

access hole in the elevator better since in the given configuration

access is very hard. But since all was already cut by Zenith this

way I left it like it was and spend a little more time tying down

the cables through the misaligned hole.

When the servo is in the correct position it will not be centered in the 

access hole. This is so the push rod is kept as short as possible per Nick 

at Zenith.
