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.

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.
