Hi Bob and William,
Here is the relay deck. Not sure why we need one, or if, as to my knowledge I
was never supplied one, nor have I checked the manual to see if it is inclu
ded in the wiring diagram. Pretty remiss of Europa if the servo actually nee
ds one of these things, which is why I am wondering if it is a mod, Bob. It s
ays for every servo you need one of these relays. Does anyone know what they
actually do, and why it states they are needed? I can run my servo directly
from a 12 V power supply with no problem.
Regards
Tony Renshaw

to access. However recently there was much chat about the plastic clevis
es needing 1/8=9D removed from their threaded ends before linking them
with the brass threaded rod to facilitate more movement of the trim and sta
bilators on final inspection.( Hopefully you picked up on that ?)

et another event and when I contacted them I discovered that they were now s
upplying the MARK II relay deck which is faultless but of different shape al
so making it an arse to shift things around on the back of the panel.

But the extreme loads are a question over the mechanical strengths of the l
inkages ! When I had to go to fully trimmed up to get the damn relay deck t
o reverse it was easier to let it go fully nose up trim and pray the deck wo
uld let itself reverse when it got to the end of travel. Been there done tha
t when Menzimer was insisting my problem was wiring when in actual fact they
eventually discovered that the end of the travel by the relay masked the ac
tual problem in the relay . Since I fitted the MARK II relay deck never a pr
oblem !!!!!
