I am connecting the pitch and roll servos to ( the yellow wire) to my Ray Allen 205 joy stick using SPDT switch #4, so it canbe used as rapid auto pilot disconnect . Dynons installation drawing shows a momentary operated switch which goes to ground to disconnect autopilot. Ray Allens 205 switch ( I will use #4) has 12 volt wired through this switch . Is this ok , or can you tell me how I wire this up, please . Thanks Jeff Rowlands Australia. :- :)

Jeff,
The servo will not accept 12V as a disconnect signal. It must be ground. However, we have plenty of customers using the 205 with no issues so I'm not totally sure why your install is different. It looks like you can re-wire the inside of the 205 as needed, and ground is available inside since all radios use a grounded signal for PTT.

If you really have to have 12V from the grip, you will need a relay to invert the signal to the servo.
