Autopilot kit
Just had a quick glance at what would be involved in mounting the servos and linkage for the autopilot. I cannot for the life of me see what would take six months to a year to develop. The servo mount is there as far as I can tell , just like the RV-10 set up. The only thing left is the connecting rod set up.

Just did this on an RV-14 using Dynon servos. Plug and play.

Carl, what did you use for the control rods?

Dynon servo install
Dynon has a "Generic Push-Pull servo installation kit" which contains almost all the items you would need (you have to cut the pushrods to length and tap the ends yourself)
https://www.dynonavionics.com/downlo...ions_Rev_F.pdf
For the RV-14 you also need the extra bracket for the roll servo, $10 from Dynon. (It's labeled "support bracket" on page 8 of the RV-10 roll servo installation guide

I installed the Garmin servo's (both pitch and roll). Just purchased the RV10 install kits and they fit perfectly in the RV14 with no alterations.

I'm hearing that Van's will be providing new mounts for our servos (did not hear it from Van's, but they did say parts were not in from the vendor).

Servo
Typical Van's support on the RV-14; non existant!

Now now...let's be fair. Scott frequently answers questions on this forum (sometimes on weekends) and I've had pretty good support from Vans via email and phone...not perfect, but pretty good.
