GRT Pitch Servo Install

[dbc12]

Finally getting around to installing a GRT pitch servo in my 6A. Wondering if anyone has any pictures or tips that may make the job easier. I have the pitch install kit from about ten years ago by no documentation. Website info is somewhat vague and most pics on older threads are no longer available. Any guidance is appreciated

Thanks,

Not exactly the same, but I found the dynon instructions very helpful when I installed my GRT Pitch servo in my RV-8.

Send me your e-mail address and I will send you some pictures, I am in the middle of a Condition Inspection so it will be no problem to go take a few pictures.

I was looking for the same thing to install a Grt pitch servo in my rv6 - specifically I was looking for how far to mount the plate from the center of the bell crank - if any body has pictures for the install with distances that will be really helpful

More specifically as pictured trying to figure out the distance between the front of the mounting plate and the center of the bell crank.

I am installing a Grt pitch servo using dynon mounting plate and not sure if the distance 3.43 that they call out is the same for the plate. I will verify the distance between the pushrod links.

It would be great if you document your install, I am sitting on a Dynon pitch servo and kit that I want to install in my -8. So far I am chicken to drill out the rivets and match drill/ rivet the longer bellcrank mount onto my airplane.

I decided to tackle the Ray Allen electric aileron trim project first, to get my feet wet.
