I didn't do it.... BUT
 
I purchase the YAW servo bracket.. but didn't know where it went...

Based on the majority of opinions, I decided not to do it, besides, I could not figure out how to mount it.

Just recently, I found a installation instruction and it was really simple. All I needed to do was purchase the servo and the wires. I have a Garmin system and it already has the software built into the system.

Now, I wish I had done it...

Can you use Ray Allen trim Servo for yaw
 
If you have a Ray Allen Servo on your rudder, why can't you hook you yaw damper to it?

I suspect that may depend on what the rest of your yaw damper system is designed to control. I don?t see it as feasible with the Garmin avionics as their system uses CAN Bus to communicate with their smart autopilot servo.

I also doubt the Ray Allen servo has the clutch assembly and response speed to work in an autopilot system. The ones I?m familiar with are designed for trim applications which have different requirements.
