Where are/have people been mounting the safety trim controller unit?  What factors influenced your decision?

Ben,   I certainly want others to chime  in,   but some of our customers have mounted the Safety-Trim  controller to the wing spar under the front seats,   This certainly is  a very short run of wire to the trim switch wiring coming from the control  sticks.   We are mounting it in the rear of the our RV-10 on an  equipement tray behind the baggage area.   We have photo's of this on  our web site.    In our Glastar I mounted it up under the  instrument panel near the previously existing wiring.

  

  

 Thanks,

 Bob Newman

I have looked at your install in the 10 on your site.  The equipment tray is a great idea and looks nice.  I am concerned about the wiring for that location.  I am quickly finding out the reality that the conduit that goes under the floors up to the front is prime real estate.  There are quite a few less wires running through the conduit to the tail if you mount it up front.  This might necessitate that I install it in the front half of the plane.

I had my trim relays mounted under the panel lip edge....no big reason,

as they could have been under the seats I guess.  So for me it

was easy splicing to just put it in under the radio stack.  For some

of these lightweight plastic boxes, I've found the hard plastic

high strength velcro to be great...just slap on a slab and stick

it in place.  It isn't as solid until you get it on there for a

day or two, but once the stickyback tightens up, that thing isn't

going anywhere....and it's easy to yank off again.  Did the same

with my GRT Manifold pressure sensor, and my CO monitor.  Just

the lightweight or plastic things....and nothing that can drop and

short out.
