9. to resolve these questions prior to flight of the aircraft Most modern experimental aircraft use push pull tubes to drive the primary controls These tubes generally have a total travel of 3 or less therefore itis best to connect the autopilot servo to the primary control by the same method This connection consists of an arm on the servo connected by a push pull rod to the primary control Rod end bearings are required on each end of the push pull rod The servo arm must not rotate even near to the point called OVER CENTER the point at which the primary aircraft control would lock up Some aircrafts mechanical primary control installations will not allow this to occur and do not need the servo stops This is a condition that would result from the servo being back driven when the pilot operates the controls or from the servo itself driving the controls to a stop To protect against this mechanical stops are supplied with the servos These stops are drilled so that they can be mounted at different angles as required 18 intervals control that the servo can handle With the push rod connected to the outermost hole 1 1 2 the travel on n In addition to the proper use of the stop it is important to know the amount of travel on the primary the primary cannot exceed 2 Y the intermediate hole 2 1 16 and the inner hole 1 5 8 the push rod and that the stop must be mounted so as to limit travel as near as possible to equal
