Can't speak for sure on the IV, I am building an ES, but I think they are very similar for this. I have a Trutrak AP and it has two servos, one for pitch and one for roll.

Hi Tom.

 

Can't speak for sure on the IV, I am building an ES, but = I think they are very similar for this.  I have a Trutrak AP and it has two servos, one for pitch and one for roll.  The pitch servo on mine is = under the left rear seat and attached to the elevator torque tube = there.

 

Rudder bellcrank should be installed way back aft if you = have the internal rudder set up.

 

If you are going to have an EFIS that uses a = magnetometer, I found that the best place for that was way back in the tail, right above = the elevator bellcrank.

 

Hope that helps.

 

I'll try to dig up some pics.
