Autopilot: Pitch servo installed.

My GRT pitch servo has been installed.  It fits into the F-14184 AP Pitch Servo Bracket perfectly.  

Initially, to make putting on the safety wire much easier, I pulled the AP Pitch Servo Bracket out of the tail and installed the servo on the bench.  Proud of myself, I quickly learned that two of four AN515-8R8 screws that hold down the bracket were no longer accessible.  So, if you install a servo into your build, just crawl in the tail and put it in directly.



Two items remain to be completed:
  1. Fashion a grommet for the wires where they pass through the square hole for the Molex connector (the latter of which is for Dynon/TruTrak servos).
  2. Set pushrod travel distance and stop-to-stop angles.
