    Default Auto pilot servo install

    Anyone see any issues with this auto pilot servo install? I didn't know if the stop screws are supposed to be 180 from each other, or just positioned to where they will stop an over centering situation.

    I'm no expert but that looks like it will keep the arm from ever over centering and that's all you are after.

    I would ask, do your auto pilot stops restrict the elevator movement that is called out in the manual? JImChuk

    This video is the flapperon servo. I rigged the flapperons and set the stops as per the manual. In the video, I am going from stop to stop.

    The Pitch servo is good. It's travel is completely within the arc where the safety stop screws are 180 across from each other.

    Thinking about making a starboard plastic disc with a "pie" piece taken out for the arc movement of the arm and bolting it on.

    Oops!
    sorry, I should have looked closer at the video. I'll have to look how I did mine.
