Dear Ken,
I did all of the prototype work for TruTraks in my RV8.  You may install the
roll servo in either the fuselage just aft of the forward control stick or in
the wing at the aeleron bellcrank bracket.  All you need do is specify which
installation you prefer, and the proper brackets will be supplied.   If you
have any further questions please call me at 920 619 6968 and I will advise.
 I do not always look at the internet so email replys may be slow.

The STEC roll and pitch servos both mount in the fuselage.  Pitch aft of the 
second former on a shelf and roll just aft of the roll torque tube on the 
right  center section rib.
