Trim servo

Mike Betti · Post by **Mike Betti** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:09 am

How about that trim servo? The instructions say it may need trimming to
fit but is appears the L shaped piece should actually be retangular,
maybe that's what they mean by need to trim? So, is the servo mounting
plate retangular when done and does it get riveted to the outside of the
skin? Rivets? Gasket seal of some kind?
Thanks,

Hi Mike !

Most builders do mount the servo on an oversized plate. The plate
goes on the outside of the skin, and can be rivetted, with epoxy primer
sealing it, but most prefer to use captive nuts or keyed rivnuts so the
plate can be removed for service later. You could make a thin rubber
gasket if you want, but it

I think MAM is supplying the SR/M mount plate with Elites and you have to
tri
it to fit the dimensions called for.

Cheers,
