Jim, did bma have any info on the servo install or did you have to cook it
up yourself? I'm also going the blue mountain route, Bma sport g4,
w/autopilot, so i'm very interested in your findings.

I had a hard time finding much info on Blue Mountain autopilot servos in an
RV-10. So, now that I've got them mounted I figure it's worth posting it on
the forum. Hope this helps someone.
No words on how well this system works yet...

BMA servo mounting. Jeremy has a photo of the elevator servo mounting
on his web site. It is the right hand photo in the top row. The
aileron servo (unfortunately no photo) is mounted at the end of the
right wing. I made a stiffener for the outboard rib and mounted the
servo. As luck would have it, the aileron connecting rod sold by Van's
is a perfect length for attachment to the bellcrank. Some may be
concerned about that much weight mounted that far out on a cantilever.
I don't think (hope) it will be an issue, but the right wing was not
selected randomly. It will offset some of the pilot's weight (seated
left of center) when flying alone.
DIFFERENT SUBJECT: someone recommended the paint shop at Lantana FL. I
stopped there Friday looking for hangar space. I found out the paint
shop has been closed since the last hurricane and is still waiting for
approval to re-open.

As far as the weight out there, I can't imagine it would make that much
difference in comparison to uneven fuel burning, which is quite common.
That's what aileron trim and rudder trim are for.
Do not archive.
