Autopilot servos

This is where I will make periodic entries regarding the build progress of my kit. I will post photos, and discuss work completed or problems encountered.

Autopilot servos

Post by MikeFairbanks »

I got the YD plate mounted the day after Christmas, but just got back out here yesterday to get busy again. I got both the roll and pitch servos mounted yesterday, and finished up the push-pull rods today, got what I could torqued and marked, and installed the over-center stop bracket on the pitch servo today.
