Leslie, 
 
I am not flying yet, but I did buy the Trutrak Altitude hold system(I  
already had the navaid devices system installed for roll). I believe that it has  
the same servo as the complete 2-axis system. I can send you pics tomorrow night 
 if you need them ( I work tomorrow). The install is pretty straight forward 
for  a builder... perhaps not so much for an avionics guy. One thing is that 
the  instructions were for an aircraft with a TAIL MOUNTED ELEVATOR!.  So, you  
have to reverse the thinking for a Canard aircraft. 
 
Let me know if you need anything.

I am a newbie to the Velocity community  and this website.  After scanning 
through the posts, it looks like a  great community!  Pleasure to be on board!  
 
I recently purchased a Velocity Standard  RG.  After some work I have it 
flying again.  I am having a  Trutrak VSGV (2 axis) autopilot installed.  I have 
been told  the elevator servo installation / adjustment is tricky.  Does anyone 
 on the list have a Trutrak installed in a Velocity Standard?  If so, a  
short phone call from my avionics installer to help answer a few questions and  
point us in the right direction would be very helpful.
 
The Mack Murpree has already been kind  enough to send me pics of his S-Tek 
installation in his XL.  Does anyone  have a Trutrak installed, or can you 
refer me to someone who  has?
 
Thank you kindly,
 
Leslie  Huttunen
