| Subject: | TruTrak pitch servo RV8 |
Anyone have any pictures of a TruTrak pitch servo installation for a RV8 with rear
battery mount?I just got my servo's and the installation drawings are more
than lacking. I was sent a new Bellcrank mount and it seems the way to mount
it is to have the servo protrude aft , past bulkhead F -808. The drawings do
not show any orientation , only the servo mounted to the new bellcrank mount.
There is no room for the servo and the battery if I try to mount the servo forward
of bulkhead F-808. Am I correct or am I missing something?

The servo does indeed mount aft, protruding back past the F-808. The hardest
part of this deal was match drilling the new bellcrank/servo mount to the
existing rivet holes in the baggage compartment ribs on my quickbuild. I'm
not sure how I'd have done it without my newly acquired angle drill. After
careful measuring and check fitting, I drilled the forward-most hole on one
side of the new mount on the bench, then clecoed the assembly in place. I
used my laser to align the centerline of the mount assembly with the
centerline of the fuselage, clamped it down and starting match drilling from
underneath. Worked out fine, but what a pain. This task would be much easier
on a slow build. Some trimming of the F-808 flange was required.
