Can anyone shed some light on what's included when one orders the

Elevator (or Aileron) Trim Kit (EE-KIT/SERVO) from Van's accessory catalog?



Surely there must be something more than the servo alone as Van's

charges $260 but it's a Ray Allen Company $155 servo, isn't it?

http://rayallencompany.com/products/servos.html

Am I missing something here?



BTW, is the RAC T3-12A servo used for RV-8 elevator trim?  How about

RV-8 aileron trim?



Thanks,

Joe

That would be formed sheet metal  & hardware to adapt it to the RV's construction.

The link you provided is just  for the lonely servo, but no switches or indicator. You will need more then just  the servo to make it work...

Thanks, Konrad.  Also heard similar from Bob Newman of TCW.



Now I understand: rocker switch, bar graph indicator, sheet metal

brackets, clevis, and push rod.  I didn't realize that.  The RAC servos

I've installed (in non-RVs) needed stick grips with switches and relay

decks but I guess the Van's trim kit could be considered a complete

installation if one was satisfied without the extras.



Thanks,
