My understanding is that your Europa club mod for the Navaid servo is 
for roll as opposed to pitch. 

Presumably the altitude hold would require pitch input. It would be 
difficult to modify controls in the cockpit module to fit such a servo.

Probably much simpler to fit aft of the cockpit module but in any event 
a retrofit will be difficult.

  Hi Klaus

   

  I have not seen the True Track autopilot servo but assuming it is no 
bigger than the Navaid one there is no reason why you shouldn't use the 
standard mod I produced for the Navaid servo installation. This uses one 
of the underseat lockers for the servo with a small hole through the 
bracing plywood to the torque tube tunnel. See the mod on the club 
website for details. If you need further assistance come back to me 
direct at nwcmc@tiscali.co.uk

  I'm about to install the True Track autopilot with altitude hold into 
my Europa MkI (monowheel) and wondering where best to install the pitch 
servo.
  Anybody out there who did such an 2 achses a/p installation already? 
  (the roll servo installation seems to be reasonable simple)

  Thanks,
  Klaus
