I just installed mine and it was offset also but you can still get at it if
you had to. The motor is about 30mm from the rib and the rivets are about 20mm
from the rib.

Cheers,
Yes, there are left and right hand trim servos. I had the same problem as you are
describing. After discussing it with ZAC, I cut a larger access hole and made
a larger cover.

My pre-cut Elevator access hole was offset from the servo body and lined up with
the rod instead.
I found that the Aileron access hole lined-up with the servo body after I made
the cutout as per the drawing dimensions but then it was slightly harder to access
the clevis to install the pin, clip and washers.

Actually, it appears that the right hand side may need stiffeners. The trim
tab should not have any movement (or very little), but if you try to move
the tab up and down you will note that the motor will move the skin up and
down. A stiffener here would stop that motion since any motion of trim tabs
and/or flaps (while not being moved by the motor) is a bad thing. Check
with Sebastion or Caleb however for an OK before stiffening any surface.

As it turns out, my Zodiac is one of the last two AMDs that was built with
the old-style canopy. (Well, version 2, really; has the new canopy latch.)
AMD got two airframe kits in today with the new canopy. You can see pictures
at http://www.conmicro.com/ch601xlv3 .
There are also some pictures of my airplane with the cowling and panel
covers off at http://www.conmicro.com/N55ZC . That will eventually be the
page for my airplane, all the way through, but the pictures are there now
(just no fancy thumbnails or index pages).

The installation instructions received with the Ultra Low profile front

I am also having problem with the JD Regulator. I've been through three

the problem. I'm get good readings on the volt and amp meters when Alt i

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey List!
The instructions, and drawings call for an A4 Pitch 40 rivet line on the elevator
hinge and the rest of the top aft spar...this all works well inside the outboard
ribs (line up), but outboard of the outboard ribs, the pitch of the rivet,line
on the front spar is something less than 40....am I supposed to match that,
or just not meet up with the outer tip rib rivet line? Your help is appreciated...take
your time...its 108 today, and even with the swamp cooler, it's
not pleasant in the garage ;)

The ribs are the bible. Locate and drill them to the dimensions on the print.
The outboard rib rivet line is in 8mm then the next inboard rib rivet line is
490mm, the next ribs are dimensioned 162mm from the centerline.
The 40mm spacing is approximate and can be done with a rivet fan. Some of my rivet
40mm spacing is actually 37mm. Line up the hinge and mark in 8 or 10mm in
from the ends and start your hinge rivet spacing from there back to the next
inboard rib.
Hope that helps,
