Brief Description:  Autopilot Roll Bracket

I am pretty certain that I am going with the Garmin G3X avionics system. I will have a 2 axis autopilot that is also made by Garmin. So I purchased the special servo brackets and installed them in the right wing. I will purchase the servos much later when I get to the avionics portion of the build but I wanted to put the brackets in now while the wing is open and accessable.

I primed the brackets and installed them. The bellcrank was a little stiff because more clearance was needed between the bellcrank and the brackets. The bellcrank has a spacer within the center hole that is suppose to clamp between the brackets in order to allow the bellcrank to pivot around the spacer and not pivot around the attach bolt. A little filing and I achieved a good fit.

The wing is complete for now.....I am moving on to the fuselage!!!
