Brief Description: Mounted the Dynon roll servo bracket in right wing
I had a busy weekend doing misc stuff around the house, taking Tanner to the eye Dr, and working most of Sunday with Diane cleaning out our boiler room and storage area under the steps to get ready for a garage sale.
I only got .75 of an hour to work on the plane Sunday night before calling it a day. It was productive though as I got the Dynon roll servo bracket mounted onto the right wing spar. The bracket consists of two gold anodized aluminum pieces. Also in the kit were the two rod end bearing and connecting tube that will attach the servo to the aileron bell crank which is the odd shaped white piece in the pictures.
The servo will be controlled by the Dynon autopilot module that will get its information from the Dynon EFIS (electronic flight information system). If you have it set for wings level flight, the servo will move the bell crank which is connected to the ailerons to maintain wings level as the plane encounters turbulence, fuel burn off from one tank or the other, etc. The auto pilot will reduce workload on cross country flights and instrument conditions if I decide to set it up for IFR.
This kit was $53 and was very easy to install now before I have the wing skins on. Next, I will start working on installing the SafeAir1 pitot tube bracket and then the pitot and static air tubing. After that I will install another run of conduit and should then be ready to rivet the wing skins.
