Installed Autopilot Pitch Servo

I dug out the autopilot pitch mounting kit and installed the servo into the mounting bracket.  It took a couple of tries, but I got it safety wired.

I then installed the elevator bellcrank and hooked up the pushrod.

The servo comes with a limiting bracket to prevent the arm from going over center and binding the controls.  I installed it so that the arm can go about 80º to either side of the point where the arm is 90º to the pushrod.  In practice, the elevator will hit the control stop long before the servo arm hits the limiting bracket.  Update: This bracket is installed incorrectly.  Please refer to the Dynon installation instructions for the correct orientation.
