I'm trying to decide how to mount the roll servo in my RV.
I've got both wings with top skins & inboard bottom skins attached.
Trying to decide between putting the servo in the wing VS fuselage...
TruTrak shows the servo mounted in the wing just outboard of the inspection hole (close to the next most outboard rib). The axis of (rotation of) the servo arm is perpendicular to the axis of the the bellcrank to which it attaches...
The Dynon install has the servo under the floor behind the spar...
I wonder in an *actual* installation whether there are likely interference issues with either installation... Dynon: with the servo pushrod and lightening holes, stick bottom and servo rod-end bearing etc? Tru-Trak: interference between mounting bracket and the servo pushrod?
Would be great to hear from others who have completed this installation, particularly if there are good pictures either 1) available -OR- 2) to be taken?
Especially helpful would be the ability to view/inspect any installations in Northern California... May be able to meet at Golden West fly-in if you're 'in the neighborhood' this coming Friday or Saturday?
Some considerations :
1) Access for inspection/maintenance
2) Ease of installation
3) Preferred alignment of servo axis w/bellcrank axis (if mounted near bellcrank)
4) Minimize 'couple' formed by rod-end coupling being off-axis from bellcrank or control stick (to extent possible)
Thanks,
Chris
