Preface. The airplane is new-to-me and this is my first modification project.
I'm installing the GSA28 Servo using the Garmin Kit. If I understand the instructions correctly, the bracket is secured by fasteners penetrating the skin and sandwiching it to an external doubling plate (provided). If you have used this method; please comment on surface prep & finish for the doubling plate. Is any sealing recommended between the doubling plate and the skin?
I am replacing a Trio EZ-Pilot servo that was mounted to a tray that is about 1/2 inch above the lower skin. (see photo) I suspect that mounting the servo to the tray would invite geometry problems but would like the opinions of others.
Thanks,
