The Dynon people have been great to work with (as have Stein's) in the installation of my Skyview with 2 A/P servos into my RV-8. One issue that recently came up had to do with the "Range of Motion Limiting Bracket. The way it fit was not the way it was supposed to be oriented.
Here's a picture of how I installed the bracket. I apologize the picture is not better.
In the picture the bracket is actually upside down! Installed correctly the servo arm would contact the thin edge of the arms of the bracket not the flat surface like I have it installed. That puts the load in an orientation where the bracket is strongest (actually stiffest in my way of thinking.)
Dynon tech help suggested I install some AN-960-10 washers between the bell crank brackets and the body of the servo and then rotate the limiting bracket 180 degrees.
I think my roll servo may have the same problem!
Dynon engineering will take a look at it. Perhaps just a bracket redesign will get the orientation right so the servo can stay mounted tight against the bell crank bracket.
Has any one else noticed this? Shimmed the servo? Left the limiting bracket off or in the improper orientation?
BTW, I have been really impressed by the quality of all the parts of the Skyview and associated systems and as I said before the tech guys have been very helpful the few times I called or emailed with questions.
