Tony, you had asked about how far from the fulcrum on the bell crank did I attach the servo arm on my Garmin GSA 28. It is 40mm from the fulcrum. There’s no particular reason for that distance it just worked out better for clearance and mounting the servo. The servo is capable of 60 inch lbs of torque which should be more than enough for the cruzer controls.

Hi, Tony. the -9 doubler came with my kit, delivered on June 12, 2023. Roger sent me the jpg view of the doubler installed on the rear spar. I've seen other builders' photos where the doubler extends all the way to the root, mine does not. Reference my photo where the inboard end of -9 starts at wing station 190 (station zero is the root rib.) Station 190 is that measurement in millimeters progressing out towards the wing tip. It ends at station 970. I figured out the placement before I heard from Roger by aligning the factory drilled rivet holes. I answer to Don. I'm called by other names, just don't call me late for dinner.
Hi, I just saw your message. I haven’t started on the autopilot yet.
Hi Tony, email sent. I'm certainly no expert but I'll help in any way I can.
Email sent with my contact info.
Hi Tony. I haven’t installed the autopilot yet, still in the planning stages. I’m waiting to hear back from Dynon as far as their recommendation on servos for the Cruzer. I’m not sure how to start a chat.
