Brief Return to the Fuselage (Autopilot Servo Install)

As I had some down time between engine cowl fiberglass layups, I returned briefly to the fuselage for the purpose of installing the autopilot's pitch trim servo.

The first photo details the initial installation of the pitch servo motor by bolting it down with 4 AN-3 bolts to the seat bottom rib/doubler.

Next, the pushrod was attached at one end to the servo's arm, with the other end being attached to a tab on the joystick's torque tube assembly.

Finally, the wires were connected to the ship's wiring harness and tie wrapped neatly together as detailed in the final two pictures below.
