Avionics products. The Forum is especially useful for pilots with uncommon aircraft or unusual
installation issues. For SkyView pilots that cannot call Dynon Avionics Technical Support during
our normal business hours, the Forum is a convenient way to interact with Dynon Avionics
Technical Support. The Forum allows online sharing of wiring diagrams, photos, and other types
of electronic files.
Dynon Avionics will continue to develop kits and installation instructions for more aircraft
based on demand. It is also expected that aircraft manufacturers will develop their own
mounting kits for Dynon Avionics servos or offer the Dynon Avionics AP as a factory option.
Servo Mechanical Installation
Observe the following guidelines when choosing a location for servos:
 The location must allow the servo arm and associated linkage to move freely through the
entire range of travel.
 Do not allow the servo arm to travel more than ±60° from neutral throughout the control
system’s range of travel. Note that this requirement only applies to arm servos and not
capstan servos.
 Leave room for all mounting hardware, including brackets, fasteners, linkages, etc.
 Leave room for electrical connections.
Dynon Avionics has researched suitable mounting points for a number of popular aircraft and
offers mounting kits and instructions for them. If you have purchased one of these kits, use the
instructions included with it as your primary guide; the following mechanical installation
information is more general in nature. If you have purchased cable-drive capstan servos (SV32C
or SV42C), refer to the documentation that came with the included Capstan Accessory Kit
(101116-000).
For installing Dynon Avionics servos in aircraft for which Dynon Avionics does not offer kits, we
offer a Generic Servo Installation Kit (101020-000) of basic parts and basic installation
instructions. The generic servo push-pull mounting kit includes some of the hardware to mount
a servo and connect to the aircraft controls, but requires the installer to fabricate mounting
brackets. This kit can be used in either pitch or roll applications that use a servo with an output
arm (not suitable for use with pulley/cable servos). Some additional fasteners (not supplied by
Dynon Avionics) and brackets will be required depending on the installation method chosen.
Neglecting to properly install and/or use Dynon Avionics AP hardware can result in
failures which could cause loss of aircraft control resulting in aircraft damage,
personal injury, or death. If there are any questions on the part of the installer it is
mandatory to resolve these questions prior to flight.
When installing the servo, you must first determine a mount location for proper interaction
with the existing control system. The mounting point that is chosen must allow the servo arm
and associated linkage to move freely through the entire range of travel. To prevent the
possibility of the servo arm going OVER CENTER, the servo arm must not travel more than a
