The servos I have easily fit inside. However, I have not tested the
strength yet. The factory told me the trim has to have 9 pounds of
pressure. I am also experimenting with the size of trim tab.

Do they fit inside of a Velocity elevator?

They're the same ones used in the Lancair. They have them.

Where are you getting your servos from?

I like most everything about the Velocity design except
for the pitch and roll trim. So I am finally doing something about it. I
am installing tiny trim servos in the elevator and one aileron and
outfitting them with piano hinged trim tabs. The wires will be run
inside the torque tubes. I am happy to be eliminating that clunky linear
activator and the cumbersome fiberglass trim spring on the canard and
the string & spring roll trim.
Anyone else ever do this?
BTW - I have forgotten to post the paint designs I
promised ... but it's been difficult to get my graphic artist to send me
the digitals. All I have now are large print-outs. They should be coming
soon.
