Quick question for those with the pitch servos from Tru Trak for the -10.
Is the hole in the elevator bellcrank sized for an AN-3 bolt? Plans on Tru
Trak site give a hole size of .200 if I'm reading it correctly. Doesn't
make much sense. Want to drill hole now while installing elevators but
don't have the servo yet....john

Yep. Final drill #12. It's important that it not be sloppy!
A quick call to TT got the dimensions - without their even having to
look it up. Unfortunately, I forgot...

John,
On option is to buy just the servo mount from Trutrak. It costs about
$50.

Getting the bracket won't really help much with hole placement or size. I
would recommend getting the drawing from the TT website and making the hole
based on that. The mount just goes where there are existing screws/bolts
and it might even be best to mount the servo to it before installing it (if
it is possible to mount the mount with the servo on it.

John, it gets to be a little bit of a monkey puzzle putting all that
together - not bad, but it requires patience, and probably several
tries to get the assembly order right. All you get for instructions
is a couple photos printer on an ink-jet, but that's adequate if a
bit frustrating.
You'll have to take it all off later to insert the elevator pushrods
coming back from the control stick area, anyway. I'd let it ride
until then if I were doing it over.
If you want to drill the hole now, be sure not to drill it bigger
than #12, and drill carefully.
That's the major concern.
You may want to drill it "just" undersize and finish drill # 12.
Any slop in the system contributes to hunting and poor autopilot
performance, I'm told.
