I'm just about to finish my left elevator on my RV-8 and want to think this
thru before I close up the elevator and bend the leading edge.  I'm
guessing that it would be OK to run the wires from the motor thru  the hole
in the elevator spar for the manual trim cable, into the stab thru that
manual cable hole and into the fuselage using some type of protective wrap
around the wires.  Is there a common method that is used that someone can
can pass along?

Hi Jim,
Just a heads up! My father-n-law hit a snag when his RV8 was being converted
from the panel switch type control for the electric trim to a stick mounted
switch. They had to incorporate a relay and other wiring to make it work so
if you plan to use a stick mounted trim switch may want to change out the
servo before sewing up the elevator..
Just a idea.
