vCardIf you take a look at:
http://www.trioavionics.com/literature.htm
If you download the altitude hold document, you can see how Trio
recommend doing it - I think that they say you can't just grab hold of
the elevator push rod as a small proportion of the servos push could be
turned into rotation by the rose joints with the consequence of a system
that spends its life 'hunting'.

My understanding is that your Europa club mod for the Navaid servo is
for roll as opposed to pitch.
Presumably the altitude hold would require pitch input. It would be
difficult to modify controls in the cockpit module to fit such a servo.
Probably much simpler to fit aft of the cockpit module but in any
event a retrofit will be difficult.

Hi Klaus
I have not seen the True Track autopilot servo but assuming it is no
bigger than the Navaid one there is no reason why you shouldn't use the
standard mod I produced for the Navaid servo installation. This uses one
of the underseat lockers for the servo with a small hole through the
bracing plywood to the torque tube tunnel. See the mod on the club
website for details. If you need further assistance come back to me
direct at nwcmc@tiscali.co.uk

I'm about to install the True Track autopilot with altitude hold
into my Europa MkI (monowheel) and wondering where best to install the
pitch servo.
Anybody out there who did such an 2 achses a/p installation already?
(the roll servo installation seems to be reasonable simple)
Thanks,
Klaus
