[rebel-builders] Moose Aileron Servo Installation
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:10 pm
I was just reviewing the pictures and my only concern is that the length of
the auto pilot bellcrank control arm is quite a bit longer then the actual
control stick cable hook up from the pivot point. This may create a stiff
feeling in the aileron control as you have to overcome the friction of the
autopilot motor in the normal mode. Also can you override the autopilot when
it is operating if need be in an unexpected evasive maneuver?? I am
"assuming" this has been tested before flight. There's that magic word
again. - Bob J (non aircraft engineer)

Dick Wampach sent me some nice photos of another way to go for an
autopilot
aileron servo installation. I uploaded them into the Control Systems
section for the SR/Moose. Looks like an easy retrofit for someone not
wanting to cut into the wing or the floor.
