Have any of you fitted an auto pilot to your J430/230/170 etcI am interested in the torque rating of the servo mainly on the aileron as the Jabiru cables have some considerable friction to over come.

 

Was told about a fellow on the Gold Coast with a TruTrak, Jim Handford I think his name was, if anyone knows him, I would like to talk to him also.

 

J430 about to get very lazy in the cockpit soon!

 

Cheers

Hello -- I fitted a Trutrak in Jab 450. Works great. I put the aileron servo behind pax side front seat and mounted on the center line beam (longeron?) and put the elevator servo in the tail cone. For the elevator servo I ran an additional push-pull cable and fabricated a mounting bracket that I added to the elevator control at the rear. I'll have to look up the servo info. Ron N450PR

 

 

:nerd:Another loser. I replaced all the crappy little screws with bolts and blind keepers. Have not had a problem since.
