Mark T is correct for TRIM servos but for autopilot servos on my TR-1 the autopilot control roll (aileron) servo is going under the passenger seat and the pitch (elevator) servo is just aft of the baggage bulkhead. I made mounting brackets out of fiberglass. I made a form for the brackets from a couple of 2x4s and covered them in packing tape and waxed for release. You can also just tape plastic over wood forms to provide release.

The reason I used fiberglass instead of aluminum was so that I could just bond and glass the brackets into position.

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 k!
icking their masses! (-m).

Can provide more step by step details
if required.
