REFLECTOR: Elevator trim motor location

[Reiff Lorenz]

Thanks for the advice, Brian. Probably a good idea to wait since I have no clue what avionics I'll end up with.

Where did you end up installing your pitch trim?

The two limiting factors are clearance with the top of the fuselage, making the center the ideal location.  The other end is clearance with the avionics, making the left preferable.

I suggest not installing it until you are finished with the instrument panel.

The manual is telling me to find a suitable location on the canard to mount the elevator trim motor. "Slightly left of center is best." (I interpret this to mean "on the left side as close to the center as possible without getting in the way of the counterweight arm.")

Will you all please tell me where your pitch trim actuators are located and if you're happy with it there?

Thanks!
