I can't speak to the kit planes, but on my AMD, the elevator servo is
mounted to the underside of the baggage shelf right above the middle of the
trap door, and the aileron servo is mounted at the end of the control rod
behind the pilot's seat (with dual sticks).

Look in the photo archives of the original "zenith" Matronics list. I
collected a number of photos of builders' AP servo installations and
uploaded them on Feb 11th, 2006. Also there was a recent discussion on the
zenith.aero list. Steve Smith posted a picture of his pitch servo installed
on the firewall and linked to the stick.

| Subject: | CABLE TURNBUCKLES |
List,
Trying to determine where to place Rudder and Elevator turnbuckles. Plans location
is nearly impossible to safe tie. Some have placed them outside the tail
at rear, some placed them at rear under the saddle...again difficult to get to.
Putting them in center console (elevator) is almost impossible to get hands down
to. Likewise, off the pedals (rudder) would require a gymnist to safetie.
Thinking maybe just above trap door access in bottom. ???????????
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I placed the turnbuckles for the rudder cables just in front of the
rudder so they are easy to access/safety wire.
For the elevator I placed them above the access panel in the bottom of
the fuse as you mention.
Both these locations are relatively easy to get to and seem to be
working OK so far.

Mike,
I did place my rudder turnbuckles near the rudder control horn, outside the fuselage.?
They are very easy to? access for safety wiring there.? I placed the upper
elevator turnbuckle under the saddle.? I fastened the saddle with screws
into angles riveted to the stabilizer to make the saddle removable, and the turnbuckle
accessible.? I put the turnbuckle for the lower elevator horn inside
the arm tunnel, where it is on top and easily accessible.
