Anyone out there with a Navaid servo installed in the fuselage of a -4 

who has pictures to share? I recently purchased a used one & I'd like to 

avoid drilling off the wing tip, if possible.



Thanks,



Charlie

Charlie:



I have mine installed, as suggested, under

the copilot seat.



It was not easy, one has to, cut some portion of

the big rib, to accomodate the unit, then one has

to built a base, strong enough, so as not to have

the chance of this thing moving.  It is riveted,

to the floor, or with nut-plates and bolts..

then unit has to be also secured, to the base..



But it works very well,.  as I said, is just a very

teddious, and time consuming...You should have

drawings  for the connection to the sticks, rod....



The other way is installing it Inside the wing...

that is also not easy if the plane is finished....



I do not see how it could be done...you would need a

very long  tube, to reach the bell-crank....wich

it will probably will have some flexing,, not good.

if thicker, then the weight question....



This is the best I can do,,



good luck

Charlie;

     I have mine installed in the fuselage with their  center "torque tube" adapter. Very neat and simple installation. Sorry I don't  have pics at the moment but am planning to take my -4 out of service for a few  months and may be able to get them then.

  

 Jim

Thanks to all that replied; I found a couple of photos on the VAF forum 

site. Also a .pdf of the Trutrak install. Most common seems to be either 

in the tunnel or on the outer surface of the tunnel with the pushrod 

going through a hole & attaching to either the base of the stick 

weldment or to the pushrod that connects the front stick to the back stick.



Now, how about a pinout  for the dB25 on the back of a Softcom ATC-P 

panel mount intercom?



Thanks,



Charlie
