Fuselage

After three weeks away travelling, its back to the -4. I installed the pitch servo. It is identical to the role servo, and presented equally well.

To install it, you replace the standard VANS bellcrank brackets with a pair provided by True Trak. This just requires some careful de-riveting and then riveting the new pair in. They are extended behind the bulkhead to support the back end of the servo.

After that it is very straightforward with all necessary holes already drilled in the supplied parts.

Here is a view from the other side. The note is to remind me that I have yet to adjust the pushrod length and install a nylock.

The weight of these servos continues to offend, but I have to say they are beautifully made.

My wife is determined to remain a passenger, not a co-pilot, so on longer journeys where I have to manage flying, navigation, map folding and airspace they will be invaluable.
