Will, I am afraid I do not have any pix on file, but I will take some
next time I visit the plane, although with Wx as is that might be a week
or so. Regards, David

which I have been flying with happily for 13 years It has a Navaid actuator
bolted
to the side of the tunnel on the floor just behind the pilot's R heel, with
the actuator link joined to a light alloy bracket on the side of the U shaped
bit at the bottom of the control column. It sounds as though it might get
in the way but in fact doesn't. It is in a box, takes v little current and
cooling
is not an issue. It is of course just for a single axis controller. If it
is of interest I could dig out paperwork and a picture and I have no doubt you
could either get appropriate bits from Graham or adapt the design to a more
modern actuator/s.

I thought Id just ask the assembled wisdom. My feeling was the the fuselage
floor
is kinda weak and the torque tube also quite thin walled...which made me
think about lateral loads on the torque tube.

to this? Do the servos need cooling for example?
