the actuator link joined to a light alloy bracket on the side of the U shaped
bit at the bottom of the control column. It sounds as though it might get
in the way but in fact doesn't. It is in a box, takes v little current and cooling
is not an issue. It is of course just for a single axis controller. If it
is of interest I could dig out paperwork and a picture and I have no doubt you
could either get appropriate bits from Graham or adapt the design to a more
modern actuator/s.
