The Trutrak folks are great - just send them an email. They travel a lot to promote the products. I had to go through three ADI's before they got it right, but they hung in there with me and took care of it. Andrew Barker is the General Manager (andrew(at)trutrakap.com).

I spent considerable time installing the Tru Trak servos in my XL. It seems that the rudder cables were located differently in rev 1 drawings and the pitch servo fits with the cables that position. In rev 2 and rev 3 drawings the rudder cables were moved (I believe to reduce cable interference with each other) and the pitch servo does not fit. I originally installed the cables as per rev 3 drawing. To make the servo work I moved them back to the original position and then installed several extra fairleads to make sure to make sure the cables do not interfere with each other. Everything seems to fit now. Here are some photos of what I did.
