Have discussed issue with S-Tec. Go ahead and mount roll servo as per
plans. Max travel of aileron crossover tube is +/- 1.25" as per Lancair.
Ailerons will reach max travel before roll servo capstan reaches 10/2
oclock position. My visual observation of capstan movement when
connected to crossover tube is that due to geometry of setup, capstan
will achieve greater travel to the right (right aileron) and less travel
to the left (left aileron) before reaching unwanted control lockdown
point. Therefore, as per S-Tec, center control sticks in neutral
position and vertical BEFORE connecting pushrod to capstan. Do NOT
locate capstan rod end connection at top dead center. Instead, rotate to
the right between 5 to 10 degrees from TDC (each installation is a
little bit different) and then connect pushrod. The reason for this is
to take advantage of the fact that the capstan has more right aileron
travel before reaching control lockdown point. Also, the travel limit
stop provided in the S-Tec install kit provides for far too much travel
than required for our installations. Once our installations are
complete, provide S-Tec with accurate capstan movement and they will
make a new limit stop for the installation at no charge.

All the best,
