I'm in the process of installing my roll servo. As I started through the drawing provided by Trutrak they show drilling a hole in the bellcrank, WD-421-R-PC. When I looked at my bellcrank it already has a hole and rivet holes for a nut plate. Now I'm wondering what is the correct approach. Should I just drill a through hole and use the bolt / locknut as supplied by Trutrak or should I mount a platenut since the bellcrank appears to be setup for that approach. Comments from the group would be appreciated as I mull over my decision. I think I'm leaning toward the Trutrak method.
I'm also working on the safety wiring of the servo mounting bolts. This is the first time I've done this, but I have the tools, wire and ready to take a shot at it. In other posts it is suggested to wire all 3 bolts together as one option. Using this approach sounds fine to me, but I'm not sure of the path from the 2 bolts to the third on the backside of the servo. Any pictures would be helpful. It seems that the safety wire will be near the path of the pushrod in this approach.
I hope everyone is having a Happy Thanksgiving.
