  1. Skystar Vixen (Kitfox Series 5), N-789DF TruTrak ADI-II Autopilot Installation Travis Rayner: flyboytr@bellsouth.net

  2. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Looking aft from panel Roll servo Pitch servo and control rod Note push/pull tube drilled To accept control rod bolt

  3. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Note push/pull tube drilled To accept control rod bolt

  4. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Aluminum flat bar 1” to stabilize upper mount Note bracket at bottom (same on both ends) Pitch Servo. Mounted aft of center fuselage Framework (behind seat in center) Rudder pulley

  5. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Roll Servo. Mounted aft of left side fuselage Framework (behind pilot seat) Aluminum 1” flat bar bracket Pitch Servo Aluminum 1” flat bar bracket

  6. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Roll Servo. Mounted aft of left side fuselage Framework (behind pilot seat)

  7. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Pitch Servo Roll servo Looking aft from left side of plane. Note Roll control arm location

  8. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Roll Servo. Push/pull tube From control stick Connection to upper flaperon hinge assembly. Longer bolt with spacers needed to align servo. The bolt/spacer was easier than building an exotic bracket to move the servo.

  9. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Roll Servo. Close up view on control rod connect To the flaperon assembly.

  10. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Another view of the Roll Servo. These bolts go through the servo mounting bracket. Stock bracket is clearly visible on the bottom.

  11. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Another view of the Pitch Servo.

  12. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Another view of the Pitch and Roll servos.

  13. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Roll Servo with spacer on “longer” control rod bolt

  14. Vixen ADI-II Autopilot Servo Installation Power on/off switch Momentary switch for “push and hold” Control Wheel Steering (we have a Stick… not a wheel). This will also disengage both pitch & roll with a quick push. Unit is backlit and easy to operate.
