Jack,
All pitch servos that are done by Velocity are located on the canard. You
can place it just about anywhere on the canard as long as it doesn't
interfere with anything. We make an arm that is a tube cut in half and weld
an arm coming off the concentric torque tube.

Picture is hard to see the arm exactly but that is the shape of the arm.

Jack,
Here's a link describing how I did it. So far, the AP is working great, but
I've only tried it for one flight.

Hi,
I am installing my auto pilot servos and not sure how people are connecting
up the pitch servo?
I am thinking of putting the servo on top of the canard and creating a lever
arm that is connected
to the torque arm for the elevators. This seems straight forward, but was
wondering what others have
done.
Any pictures would help.
Jack
