Default Dynon Autopilot

Looking for someone that has installed a Dynon autopilot in a RV4 that had to make up the roll servo bracket.
They make a kit for the pitch but not the roll.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks

Default Dynon autopilot

I haven't yet installed my autopilot but I have made the bracket. I intend to make an installation like the RV-6 so I have had to enlarge the hole in the fuselage rib where the aileron pushrod goes through to make room for the servo pushrod. The installation will be nearly identical to the one for RV-6.

You can use the Dynon RV6 roll servo bracket with no problems.

Default RV4 Roll Server

Redhawk,
As Skysailor and Hans say above, I to am using the Dynon Rv-6 roll server mount and I'm kind of following Tru Trak's method of installing the servo onto the fuselage belly skin with a hard link to the torque tube with a welded tab. Just didn't want to mess with trying to install it in the wings after they are completed.
Take a look at this link for some guidence.
