Recently someone had asked for info on how to mount their auto pilot servos but I can't find that thread.? ?Today I had my fuselage open in order to work on the ELT and thought I would take some pics of? how I mounted my AP servos.? As you can see I had welded two tabs on the bottom diagonal in the rear and also on a cross tube in the front.? I then ran two angle aluminum pieces fore and aft with some additional cross angles to mount each servo on.
I have pictures from my TW that I no longer have. Want those (whomever was asking?)? Just posting one pic but email me directly if you want more from different angles.? It was very clever how it was done.? It was for a Trutrak.

Dynon has, on their website, CAD models of most of their products including servos. These CAD models can be used to 3D print plastic replicas complete with servo arms and properly spaced mounting holes. These are useful for making and locating mounts without having to purchase the real servo.?

Hey Jack, I have a W-10 Trike. I¡¯m interested in a TruTrak autopilot installation so any pictures of yours would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Karl. ? ? ? ?capkrl@...
