Bob and Tim,
Thanks for that advice from you both. Looks like this will be easier than
I'd feared :-) Not removing the roll arms is a big relief! And I know my
tank guards will come off no problem.
Interestingly, the lugs are not perpendicular to the CS17 steam pipe at
central stick. Looking in there, this is by design. The AP servo lugs will
need to be perpendicular - so I've measured up for that, too.
All I need now is a second person to work the other end of the screws. Well,
my fiance did say she wanted to help out on the plane, and she's handy with
a spanner.... Liza, I need help! :-)
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi! Jeremy
I bedded both my tank guards and the support brackets on redux with a
cling film membrane under the guards and brackets to ensure they weren't
permanently attached ....just in case ! But mark the positions to
replicate them on re-assembly.
I would remove all the roll linkage but don't mix it up, mark it to
relocate it for putting it back all in the same position. I don't see
why the radius arms would need removing. I would make a good effort
before I did that.
Obviously you need to establish the location of the new lugs before you
disturb anything too.
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG

:-) You are quite right, Bob. I meant the CS10.
No panic on having to take yours out. Mine needs two lugs adding to it
for
the pitch servo of the autopilot.
Any tips on getting the bugger out as easily as possible? I imagine I
need
to remove:
1) Remove both the guards that stop the tank hitting the roll link-rod
2) Remove one CS10 support bracket
3) Remove (or just disconnect?) the roll-link rod
4) Disconnect the under-seat pushrods
5) Disconnect the steam pipe to the back end
Do the roll arms need to come off their torque-tubes? That strikes me as
being the job from hell!
Cheers,
Jeremy
