|
|
I am wiring my Digiflight IIVSGV in my RV-10 using the standard installation for pitch and roll. In the wiring diagram, there is the option of installing a jumper to reverse one of the servos, and the option to swap two wires to change the direction of the other. For those who have already completed and tried this installation, is the jumper and/or wire swap required for the standard RV-10 installation to get the proper servo direction? I would rather do this now, rather than learn the hard way later.

With the pitch reverse jumper connected it works in the right direction in all of the -10's I have worked on. I have never changed the direction of the aileron servo either, mostly using Stein's harness and a couple now from Approach Fast Stack. Either way, you can check it on the ground before you ever take it up. Just activate the autopilot and dial in a vertical speed and you will see the stick more one way or the other. The same can be done for the roll servo by dialing in a heading to the right or left of what it starts at.

Install the pitch reverse loop with a colored wire and if the reverse is needed snip the wire.

Mine worked on the first try, just as the schematic shows.

Jesse;
I decided to build my own AP harness. I bought the parts from Stein but was wondering if you could tell me how long the harness is. I was thinking 20 feet or so but I don't want to waste or be short.. If you recall please let me know.
In Christ!

Pascal,
My Stein-built harness is 18' long for the pitch servo, and 22' long for the roll servo.
