Step 7: Threaded the jam nut and clevis rod end on to the Pitch servo. Backing the rod end one turn from contacting the servo arm and then tighted the jam nut.
Builder's note: This was also a good time to install the servo doublers I had left off.
Step 8: Guide the Trim/Servo assembly into place from underneath the stabilator.
Step 9: Installed the trim servo using the hardware called out. NOTE: The cotter pin is not fully expanded until the final final installation of the trim system.
Step 10: Install the rod end bearing to the AST Assemblies.

Step 1: Connect a 12 volt power supply to the two white leads of the servo and run it to one of it's two stops. Check that the stabilator still has full travel and nothing hit except the hinge stops.
Step 2: Reverse the connections of the 12 volt power supply to the two white leads of the servo and run it to other stop. Check that the stabilator still has full travel and nothing stopping against anything other than the hinge stops.
This completes this entry and the Attachment of the Empennage on the RV-12 airplane, at least until final assembly.
