Hi
Rick I know that the TruTrak can be installed after the airframe is built. I
have installed one in a customer Moose and it takes about 16 hours to mount
the servos. Trutrak also makes a new controler that will drive the Navaids
servos for those that are having problems. We are a dealer for Trutrak in
Canada for those that are interested.
