Capstan Servo Installation

[jonesronc]

Hi, I'm preparing to install a Trutrak roll capstan servo similar to the installation shown in the attachment. My servo didn't come with any instructions, such as how many wraps around the capstan, needed distance between capture blocks. The installation is a Sorcerer AP in a Bearhawk. Do you have any documentation or required installation parameters?

Hi Ron,

We don't have any installation drawings for the Bearhawk. If your attached picture is a shot of your installation, it looks great! That's just the way it should be done. The only thing to watch there is that you have enough cable travel room between the capstan wheel and the cable clamp. Thanks!

For those who are contemplating same, here's a link to mykitlog showing the mounting bracket and installation of a roll servo in a Bearhawk.
