Karl,
I installed both the pitch and roll axis AP in my 601XL. Not too hard to install.
Use the Trutrak installation guides from their website for the physical installation.
The servo size and bolt hole locations are identical. Here are
a few pictures of my installation.
Flying an AP with a light wing loaded airplane can be a little frustrating. Since
the 601XL can gain and lose 40 feet so quickly on days with moderate or even
light turbulence, it seems like you are on a roller coaster as the AP tries
to correct. I usually just turn the pitch off on days like these and hand fly
the pitch. I still want to play with the settings this year to see if I can
de-tune it more for a steadier ride. Roll control works great. I have the hingless
ailerons and highly recommend the SV42 servo as the SV32 was too weak.
Good luck.
