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: Part 1: http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2971&log=71180&row=134 Part 2: http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2971&log=71181&row=133 Part 3: http://www.mattsrv8.com/users/display_log.php?user=MattsRV8&project=638&category=2971&log=71182&row=132 Matt - Matt "Red Dawg" Dralle RV-8 #82880 N998RV "Ruby Vixen" http://www.mattsrv8.com - Matt's Complete RV-8 Construction Log http://www.mattsrv8.com/Mishap - Landing Mishap Rebuild Log http://www.youtube.com/MattsRV8 - Matt's RV-8 HDTV YouTube Channel Status: 170+ Hours TTSN - Rebuilding Fuselage After Landing Mishap...

    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. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Sean Stephens Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2011 8:50 AM Subject: RV10-List: TT AutoTrim Mount Location Anyone have pics of their TT AutoTrim mounting?

    Thanks Matt. I have the newer model that does not use the sensor. -Sean #40303 On 8/14/11 12:12 PM, Matt Dralle wrote: > --> RV10-List message posted by: Matt Dralle<dralle@matronics.com> > > At 08:49 AM 8/14/2011 Sunday, you wrote: >> --> RV10-List message posted by: Sean Stephens<sean@stephensville.com> >> >> Anyone have pics of their TT AutoTrim mounting?

    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.

    Subject: Bucking Bar Recommendation...
    Dear Listers, After nearly 23 years of building metal airplanes on and off, I finally came across a really nice bucking bar. The part number details are below and I've attached a picture of it with the optional 6.5" Dolly Shank attached (recommended). The handle has a vibration absorbing mechanism inside and it makes riveting almost a pleasure. It really works good. I was truly amazed at how much more comfortable it is riveting using the tool. If you've got even a modest amount of riveting left to do on your project, surf over to the US Tool web site and order up one. You won't be sorry! I don't get any kick back (pun intended) from US Tool; I'm just a very stratified customer.

    I'll stick with my tungsten bucking bar, it's by far the best I've ever used.... and it's 1/2 the price of the recoil ones!!

    Thanks for the pirep. I also like my 1" x 1" x 2" tungsten for 90% of the ones i did not use my squeezer on. I would buy an alligator squeezer if building another. That one seems a little on the large size for me. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&amp;P 5/93, PPC 10/08 Bldr# 40983SB IO-540 Install.
