Anyone have pics of their TT AutoTrim mounting? Trying to deduce the
best location.

Thanks,

Hi Sean,

In my RV-8, I mounted it right near the servo. Do you have the strain-gauge sensor that the earlier units required? The cable from the strain-gauge to the AutoTrim box is only about 12" long, so you are kind of limited on how far away you could realisticly mounted it.

Here are some pictures of what I did:

Adjacent to the elevator servo and near the trim wires to the rear. Put a
dsub on the trim servo wires such that a dsub plug can be wired to remove
the trim module/elevator servo and fly with manual trim. (My elevator servo
required a recalibration and was sent to TT). If you need a picture of the
plug I can get next time I go to hangar.

Thanks Matt. I have the newer model that does not use the sensor.

Yep, I know I want it as close to the pitch servo as I can get it, just
trying to get an idea of the best mount to fab for it. Would be nice if
they left enough room on the same mount as the servo.

Thanks,
