LINKAGE MOUNT POSITION FORCE AND TRAVEL

The two diagrams below illustrate the maximum travel and force available at each linkage
mounting point. As can be seen, the closer you mount the linkage to the shaft, the more force the
servo can deliver. However, this also means the travel of the arm is shorter. Again, ensure that
the servo arm is nowhere near going over-center throughout the entire range of the control
system.

Long Arm

In most instances, it is recommended to connect the servo arm to the control linkages using the
outer-most hole of the servo arm (position A). This position provides the greatest amount of
travel, with the least amount of drive force. If, when testing the autopilot, you find that the servos
cannot adequately drive the control system (indicated by a yellow “slip indicator” in the AP
status at the bottom left of the EFIS screen), you may move the linkage mount point inward,
provided there is still enough travel to accommodate the control system at the servo location.
Using either of the two inner-most holes of the servo arm affects the final amount of force that
