Before I get into the tailcone section I want to ensure I can build in the necessary trays and mounting points for all the equipment I plan to install without having to drill out rivets later (at least that is the intent).
Unfortunately I can't seem to wrap my head around the differences between autopilot servos like garmin or dynon and the aircraft trim system. Specifically the GSA 28 yaw dampener. Does the GSA 28 hooked to the rudder also allow for electric trim of the rudder?
The Garmin sight advertising states:
"When the autopilot is off, the GSA 28 servo provides speed scheduling for manual trim commands. Likewise, when the autopilot is on, the servo adjusts to constantly keep the aircraft trimmed. When servo input is needed to keep pressure on the controls due to an out-of-trim condition, the system will direct the servo to drive the trim until the control pressure is relieved."
But in a separate paragraph it also states:
"the Garmin servo provides a built-in interface to drive a customer-supplied trim servo at no extra cost. "
Now why would you need it to drive a customer supplied trim servo unless the GSA 28 doesn't trim and in fact needs a ray allen servo down the line to perform electric trim functions.
Maybe I am just reading too much into it, but I am hoping someone who is using the system can set me straight faster than I can research the question.
Any examples of how you have done this install would be appreciated. Thanks
