 |
|
Installation of the roll servo for the TruTrak autopilot was pretty straight forward. The system seems to work well and doesn't add any noticeable drag to the aileron stick forces. Fortunately, it just fit in with the Electric Aileron trim setup. I actually had to move the control horn on the stick column forward about 1/8" to assure that there wasn't any interference between the rod end bolt and the left spring. Seems two work fine and there is no binding or rubbing of any kind. Sweet.

Matt,
Make sure you check clearance on the floor panel that will cover the area
that houses the servo. I had to significantly trim one of the support
braces on this floor panel. I am at the office and do not have the part
numbers in front of me, but the servo arm necessitated removal of about two
inches of brace material. If I get a chance, I will take some pictures and
post them. Good luck.

Matt, looks good. Have you considered whether the seat pan flex's down any? Will the swing arm clear the bottom of the seat pan with a heavy fellow on one butt cheek? Best regards, Bill (canopy & skirts all summer)
