Bf 109 G-10/R6 and a PKS 12 location

I'm looking for Patin Kurssteuerung device location in G-10 fuselage. If it used standart compass for keeping proper direction was it located just behind the compass in seventh section? It would easily be connected with rudder controls also but...the weight of PKS 12 was 26,5 kg (Janda/Poruba Bf 109 of JG 52, 2004) and I wonder if there was any influence on flight characteristics if locatded so far in the tail section?

Am I right with that guess or PKS was located in another place?

regards
Kuba

PKS 12 location

Hello Mr. Plewka

For the PKS 12

a. The Steering Unit was located in Frame 5.

b. The Rudder Drive Unit was located in Frame 7.

c. The DC-AC inverter for Artificial Horizon and PKS 12 Damping Gyro Unit was located in Frame 3.

d. Impedance Unit and Leonard Transformer were located next to the 24V/7.5Ah lead battery in Frame 1.

HTH,
D.B.
