1. I have been waffling about where I wanted to install the Garmin GSA 28 roll servo. There is already a mount in the fuselage, under the floor, for my old Tru-Trak servo, and I could probably make it work. But it would require some cutting, filing, and amateur engineering. And there's no guarantee I wouldn't run into some kind of unexpected problems later. So I decided to just go with the Garmin standard RV-8 location for the servo -- in the right wing, adjacent (and attached to) the aileron bellcrank. In the end, it was totally painless and easy to do, and I'm glad I put it there. And along the way, I even figured out how I am going to run the wire harness without too much aggravation. It was a good day!
2. Prepped autopilot roll servo installation by assembling the pushrod arm and attaching the servo to the mounting angles and aft mounting arm.
3. Located and drilled the #11 hole in the aileron bellcrank.
4. Installed the servo and mounts in the wing. Torqued all but five of the attach bolts for the aileron pushrods and bellcrank, just so I have some flexibility to adjust things later.
