From the research I've done the Trutrak is the only one that mounts the roll servo in the fuselage. When I asked Blue Mountain the answer was talk to someone who has already done it. Not much help. Any other possiblities for fuselage mounting or do I need to make the decision now? Thanks.

Lovin' it. I mounted the servo for my Navaid just aft of the electric trim servo, under the cabin floor. Works just fine. My buddy retro-fitted his RV-6 with a Navaid and also mounted the servo under the floor, on the right side. No problemo.
