This is not Dynon specific, but more about mounting the servos. Ailerons should be a pretty easy installation as the servo just needs an arm that will go to a ball joint that you'll stack onto a longer bolt through the bottom of your right stick (or left stick if you choose). The elevator control will be very much the same. A length of control arm with a ball joint stacked onto an existing joint in the elevator control. Everything else is just wiring, programming and adjusting.
FWIW, upgrading to an autopilot is a great choice. I was thinking about that as the next upgrade for my KR when I bought the RV project. The RV came with just a single axis autopilot. I am just amazed at how much more I fly now; not because I'm flying an RV, but because I can fly all day without the plane wearing me out. A two axis autopilot would be a dream for cross country use. I wish I had done that on my KR 20-some years ago. -Jeff Scott Arkansas Ozarks > Sent: Sunday, June 13, 2021 at 11:26 AM > From: "John Bouyea" <j...@bouyea.net> > To: "'KRnet'" <krnet@list.krnet.org> > Subject: KR>Wanted: Dynon AutoPilot Installation Tips > > It's time to make a few upgrades to N133RM.
