Why doesn't Trio offer a "headstart" package as others do. It would be great if one could buy just the "hardware" for my a/p, alt/hold etc instead of forking over for everything at once, where the brains sit in boxes for two years atrophying.

Lorne, I'm pretty sure you can purchase just the servos and wiring harnesses for the Trio EZ systems. That would allow you to do all the fabbing of the mounts and wire runs. Mounting the control heads in the panel is a job that only takes a few minutes once the holes are cut (all the templates and dimensions are available on the Trio site).

But......to get the real scoop, call the three amigos at Trio for first-hand info. They are a great bunch to work with and will get you headed in the right direction.

You can get the servo alone here:

and harness here:

Don't know if they have any additional mounting hardware or if you have to fabricate that yourself.

I spoke to the Trio folks at OSH last year and they recommended that I install the servo before closing out the wing. They offered to sell me just the servo and I could purchase the rest later. I was a little leary, but then he said I would get a money back guarantee, and that I could return it for a full refund, even if I did not like the color. He even put that in writing. I was sold. I have since purchased another servo for the pitch autopilot. These folks are great to deal with.

I purchased my wing servo first, then later the control head. Not only that, when I had a problem with tracking (which turned out to be the GPS software,) they sent me a new control head not questions asked, just to make sure it wasn't their unit causing the problem. GREAT service and excellent product. Give 'em a call!
