Navaid Autopilot Installation

Post by brian amendala » Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:21 pm

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures. But it goes as far forward as you can
get it to where it hits the stick control system bracket. IT mounts right
behind this bracket. It also goes on the left side of the floor right where
the floor starts to curve upward. Remember to crank the BIG NUT on the
shaft,(read the instructions) of the NAVAID tighter, ( to give the Navaid
more torque), as there is alot more friction in my REBEL control system as
opposed to my LONG EZ. When I first installed it from the factory it didn't
have enough strength to control the ailerons. There are 4 holes on the arm
of the control shaft and I used the third one out from the center. You will
need to cut the remainder of this arm off, otherwise it will hit the floor
where the floor curves upward.....Brian

Brian, thanks for the input on your Navaid Autopilot.
I ordered one for SR130 last week for a Feb/March installation.
Do you have a picture(s) that show your installation?
It's that being worth a thousand word thing.

Brian, thanks for the description of your installation I am sure it will
come clear when I get to the point of installation.

One question if I may. Other(s) have installed the servo to activate the
cable that is above the pilot's side door.
Is there a specific reason you wanted to activate the push rod as opposed to
a section of cable?

Hi Don,
I think Brian is talking about a Rebel not the SR.

Yes, mine is a REBEL not a SR. I don't have a cable above my door so I use
the pushrod.....Brian
