Autopilot servo install

I went ahead and installed the AuroPilot roll servo into the right wing. I could have waited until after the bottom skin is installed, but I felt like it would be easier to put it in now. Hopefully it won’t present too much of a challenge when setting rivets on the bottom skin.

To complete the install, I also had to install the aileron bell crank. This was simple, and the the bushings just needed a slight reaming and deburring to fit perfectly. I greased the bushing to help prevent corrosion on the inside of the steel bellcrank where there is no powder coating.

I’ll need to tidy up the wiring to really finish this off, but I’m waiting until I have all the systems installed before doing that.

Installed in the wing. Wiring still needs to be secured.
