Hi Guys,
I’m looking to install Grand Rapids avionics servo’s in my TR-1. Does anyone have any pics or suggestions for locations on where to place them?
Thanks!

To our success, Stephen McIntosh

Elevator and aileron trim servos are typically installed in the control surface. Removable access panels will need to be cut in to and fabricated for each control surface. The servos should be mounted as close to the forward edge near the spar of the control surface as possible to minimizes the disruption of the control surface mass balance. After installation each surface must be rebalanced and appropriate weight added to the counter balance weight. Failure to do so could result in control surface flutter and lost of life (and we've already had way too much of that in this fleet). A proper mounting bracket will need to be fabricated and should be done appropriately in composite materials (because KIS is a composite aircraft and it is best to stick with composites). I checked the GRT website - although I am a fan of these produces the information provided on this site about the dimensions and proper mounting of the servos is unfortunately MISSING! Maybe that's why Dynon is kicking their masses! (-m).

Can provide more step by step details if required.
