Hi folks,
I bought the servos and hardward to install both pitch and roll controls in my RV 8. I am getting close to final fuselage assembly and thought I ought prepare for installation as it would be easier to do before it all gets riveted together.
The installation manual from Tru-Track does not really discuss the servos. Their illustrations show the relationship between their mounting rails, the servos and the controls. It is fairly clear for the roll servo, but much less so for the pitch servo. They don't really give much indication as to where the mounting rails go. Specifically, in trying to install the elevator servo, do you cut away the part of the baggage floor that normally holds the elevator bellcrank? I can't see how the servo rails are going to fit in without doing that. Anyone have pictures or a better organized installation guide?
Regards,
