Dynon autopilot servo install photo
Hallo.
I would like to install both roll and pitch Dynon servos on my -4.
I found here a message suggesting to use the -6 roll servo bracket. This is installed on the fuselage. The -6 Dynon drawing shows a different column, so I was wondering what could be the actual connection.
On Dynon forum it is said there are on VAF photos on such installation.
Does anyone has them?
Thanks.
Camillo

stick well
I put the roll servo in the stick well with a short rod attached to the stick bracket. I did reinforce the side of the stick well with a backup plate. Works great.

Thanks, Charlie.
Do you have a photo of your installation?

I installed the roll servo using the RV-6 bracket. I fab'd a bracket on the control column that copied the aileron push tube connection located so the servo didn't interfere with the passenger footwells. Since I don't own a welder I had the bracket welded on by a local welder. I'll try to remember and post a pic or two this weekend.

Here is what I did.
For the Dynon AP roll servo installation, either one or both of the brackets came from True Track. I'll need to check.

I installed both pitch and roll A/P servos in our -4. I used the mounting bracket from a -6 mounted on the floor. I got the bracket and collar for the torque tube from Stein. I mounted my roll servo on its side. Works great

I mounted the roll servo outside of the box containing the sticks. It is mounted just behind the rear seat foot wells I installed. I got the pushrod from Dynon and it goes through a hole in the longitudinal floor former. It is on the right side.
