    Default Auto pilot mounts

    For those of you who have the auto pilot mounts from Kitfox, the pitch mount is mounted with a few hose clamps. Did you hysol this assembly to the tubes, did you use the hose clamps or mount it in a different manner. The roll mount is riveted to a flat pan, very solid mount, it would be nice if the pitch mount was also a permanent mount. Just curious how others have done this.

    Hi Rob,

    Have you installed the servo arm stops yet? If so are you finding a binding issue with left roll?

    Think this can be done as retro fit after covering?
