Shook" Subject: RV7-List: Trio A/P Servo Mounting I know I have asked this before and I put it off to work on other things. There are some builders that have mounted their Trio Servo's on the wing rib adjacent to the aileron belcrank, but those installations involved reinforcing the rib, etc. and I am not sure that is necessary or what I want to do. Has anyone mounted the servo on the web of the wing spar in the bay next to the aileron belcrank? I can't imagine that the four holes for some #6 screws and the eight #40 holes for the nutplates would weaken the structure any. Thoughts anyone? Scott R.

Like you I thought the web would be suffiecient ....but my motto throughout this project if I ever say "I THINK thids or that Might be OK" then I would always cal Van"s, Check my favorite builder web sites, ask the question as you have and ( time out of ten kicked it up a notch for safety.
