Mounting the Autopilot System

The autopilot system, which came with your kit or which you're planning to mount into your
already-built aircraft, consists of one or more servomotors, the autopilot avionics
instrumentation and a set of connection cables:
Besides these you also get certain push rods (depending on which flight movements you are
intending to control with the system), a modified bell crank and a modified lateral assembly rod.
NOTE: The autopilot instrumentation comes already built into your instrumentation panel.
Mounting the Pitch Servomotor
The pitch servomotor controls the aircraft's pitch movement and is located under the cabin floor
between the main control sticks. Before installing it, you have to equip it with a few mounting
plates.
