REFLECTOR:BMA Autopilot

[Tom Martino]

The pitch servo can be mounted on the top of the canard (along side the
trim actuator).  Many use a push rod that activates a coupling on the
torque tube ... but I found a better way.

I simply ordered a three foot push-pull control cable (similar to the
ones that we use on our ailerons) ... and hooked it up.  I simply looped
it around the canard on onto the same place that the pitch control tube
mounts to ... it works great.

The roll servo can go aft of the keel on the floor on the pilot side,
with a push rod hooking to the aileron bellcrank.

Has anyone installed the Blue Mountain Avionics autopilot servos in a
standard RG? If so, where and got any pix?
