Vans RV-14 Yaw Servo Bracket on the 10

[lmerrill]

I thought I would elaborate on something that hasn't been very clear with what's involved in installing the RV-14 Yaw Bracket in the RV-10. I used the Garmin bracket on my first 10 but decided to save some money this time around. It is such and easy mod and will be about half the price. Garmin Bracket $690. Vans RV-14 G3X install kit $203 (also have to order the bow from stein for $125 if using the vans kit) Now to the difference. The bulkhead already has 3 holes stamped in them. The Vans bracket requires you to make a .063 spacer between the bulkhead and the lower bracket mount to fill an ever so slight gap. Then you match drill the holes from the Vans bracket into the bulkhead. I plan on dimpling the original center hole on both sides in the bulkhead and flush riveting it so that there is no interference with the underlying rivet and the yaw bracket. Hopefully the pictures make sense...

This is an area of confusion, so for the RV-10 where are we getting the elevator auto pilot and yaw damp parts to add? Is this brand specific? I have seen Dynon/ADF with their versions. I am elevator and Tail cone assembly now so it would be a good time to add them. THanks

If you plan to go the Vans RV-14 parts kit route here are the part numbers that can be purchased through Vans Store:
Garmin: 14 G3X YAW SERVO INSTALL KIT ($202.99 you have to still get the bow from steinair $125.)
AFS: 14 SV AFS YAW SERVO INSTALL KIT($243.82. Not sure what else you need for Dynon AFS)

As far as pitch servo bracket goes I think there is a pitch bracket from van. I had already purchased my other brackets and they are garmin brackets.
