Feb 12, 2022 9 Trim Servo Install, Rear Mounting Plate and Access Category: Avionics
Started some work on the tail access covers by making the small brackets and riveting them in place on the covers. Shot them with a coat of 2K primer and will start fitting them to the fuselage here soon. My mounts for the trim servos all cured so I installed the servos themselves and connected them up to the flight controls. Also started wiring them in slowly. Since the pitch servo is farthest back I started there. I am using the Garmin G3X which has the auto trim function but with the electrical current needed to run the trim motor, needed to install a TCW Trim Boost into the system. Decided to build a rear mounting tray for some of the electronics like the Trim Boost and the transponder (the antenna is farther forward on the starboard side away from the roll servo so shouldn't have any interference). Got the tray bent up so the next steps will be to install it on to the fuselage and start mounting components.
