Feb 06, 2022 5 Auto Pilot Servos Category: Avionics
I fit and installed the autopilot control servo brackets. Installed the servo on each bracket and located them so that the connection rod for the servo to the controls was at a right angle to its connection at the control link. Pushes and pulls nice and straight on. John McBean had posted on the Kitfox Forum about how the servo arm pass through hole in the bracket for the pitch servo was a bit tight due to the powder coating and could possibly bind up the servo arm. I made sure to open that hole up a bit and verified that the servo arm was free and clear. Hysol'd and riveted the roll bracket (yeah I know it doesn't call for Hysol but just seemed like the thing to do and didn't hurt anything). Hysol'd and used the hose clamps to install the pitch bracket. Just for a bit of extra I safety wired the hose clamps to preclude them loosening up later on from vibration.
