A/P in a Series 6?

[desertdave]

Has anybody installed an autopilot in their Series 6? If so can you please send or post up a few pictures of your servo mounts?

Thanks,
Dave

I put two servos in my Series 5. Initially I purchased the servo installation bracket kit from Kitfox but discovered that it mounts to fuselage tubes in the Series 7 that are missing from my aircraft. In the end I just fabricated mounts from a couple pieces of aluminum angle (Home Depot) and some Adel clamps. They're very sturdy and I expect them to work fine.

I have a model 5 Outback that should be very similar. I made servo mounts with aluminum angle and attached them to the fuselage tubing with Adel clamps. I also made my own bracket to connect to the elevator tube out of steel plate and attached it with Breeze clamps. The aileron pushrod connects to the idler arm (not pictured).
