autopilot calibration question--arm or capstan servo?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, the autopilot button (TRK-HSI) recently disappeared from the screen of my Dynon Skyview Touch in my 2015 CTLSi. This happened right after I changed my screen layout. Dynon sent a software update but it didn't help. At the suggestion of Dynon support, I went into the setup menu and found that the autopilot setup menu was grayed out. Dynon then told me that I would need to calibrate the AP servos. When I tried this, I was stumped by the following command: "Press YES if this servo is attached via a capstan, a linear actuator, or other method that is NOT an arm" (see attached photo below). I have a Dynon autopilot. Can anyone tell me what kind of servo I have? So far I've been unable to find an answer in the aircraft documentation.

Thanks!

The Dynon autopilot servos  in the CTLSi should both be Arm style from the ones I have seen.  Its easy to see the roll one in the baggage area, if it has an arm with a pushrod to the aileron linkage its the Arm style, capstan would  look like an aluminum bar riding on a circular wheel at the servo.

Hope that helps.
