 Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 7:04 am Post subject: TT Pitch Servo Install Directions |
 |
|
.. are really lame (TruTrak, are you listening?). This is all I got in the box
(same as from their website):
http://www.trutrakflightsystems.com/documents/RV10pitch.pdf
There are no dimensions called out for drilling the bellcrank hole. The bracket
photo leaves a lot to the imagination. Worse yet, the -10 plans show a
different bracket in a different location.
Would some kind sole please take pity and help out a rookie pitch servo
installer with additional information?
Thanks in advance,
Jay

Yes there instructions leave a lot to be desired, call them they are very helpful.
Tim has some photos on his site <http>
The attaching bracket attaches to the bell crank/battery tray assembly using the existing hardware.
You need to remove the phenolic pully. Remove the center screw. On final assembly reinstall with locktight.
Servo attaches with the four bolts. Safety wire the bolts after final assembly.
The hole in the bellcrank is on the centerline, 2" up and 0.5" aft. This is from memory. PLEASE confirm with TruTrak.
The longer bolt goes through the large washer, the rod end bearing, spacer, bell crank, normal washer and finally the lock nut.
This is at least how I did it.
If you do confirm with TruTrak, let me know if I made any errors.

If you get a response, please post as I looked at those same pics just
the other night and wondered if the dimension/location of the hole was
that critical. It looks like one just levels the arm and puts the hole
about in the middle.
As an aside, I realize that we are scattered over the whole country, but
I fell into 5 gallons of Shewin Williams Wash primer. P60-G2. I went
to order another gallon for the primer ( I hate writing that word on
the post, but I had to) and the guy at the SW store said that he had a 5
gallon bucket that he probably could not or would not be able to sell.
I will likely only need about 1-2 quarts to finish. He "sold" me the
bucket for 5 bucks. The ticket said $335. If anyone in the area needs
some primer, please call. I'd hate for it to go to waste. I'm
located in Paris, Texas which is mid way between Dallas and Texarkana.
It was fun to meet some new faces at Osh this year. I wish I could have
made it over to the campsite. Will try next year.

I spoke with Zach at TT. They are working on AutoCAD diagrams, but do not have them ready at present...
The bellcrank hole position is not critical, but should be located 2.25" up and .5" aft from the center hole.
The TT bracket supplied by Vans in the -10 kit should be discarded. Instead, use the one supplied with the servo.
Regards,
Jay

Great,
I just started to work on thes servo today and had the same question. It is quite some time ago that I received the servos and I can't recall if the pitch servo comes with the bolts, brackets and bearing, spacer etc.
I'd like to clarify that befor I call TT.
Best Regardsa from Switzerland

About a year ago TT changed the mounting of the RV-10 pitch servo for
torque enhancement. There is a new wheel and cables attached to a
moving rail. It requires a new mounting bracket in lieu of the one
supplied with the kit. See the photos on Tim's site
<http://www.myrv10.com/N104CD/upgrades/20060816/index.html>.
If yours does not look like this call TT.
