Electric aileron trim directions for RV-7 or RV-9

May very well be an odd request but does anyone have the directions for electric aileron trim installation for the -7 or -9 model that they could send me a pic of?

I installed manual aileron trim but really don't like the friction system and electric would be beneficial for my autopilot. The Van's kit comes with a bunch of parts common to both systems so I'm trying to see what all I actually need to order. Thanks in advance!
 
OP 19 is the drawing you guys are looking for.

Can email if anybody needs also. ty1295 at gmail

Yep OP-19 is your go to on the USB plans if you haven't. I embarrassingly missed it when I was looking through them... I can send it too if you need it. PM me your email and I'll get it over to you.
 
On my RV-9A, I've got aileron trim (manual) and never use it. I do wish I had rudder trim, though.

Be careful with your aileron balance if you do install trim -- flutter doesn't play nice.

Aileron trim

On my 2005 6A I originally had the springs under the seats aileron trim.I hated it.

With trim buttons on my stick I finally got to use them by installing the very old Vans aileron trim kit I had into the left aileron. Works like a champ!

Little confused by this Ed. Does the -9 aileron trim mount differently? I don't see how adding Van's aileron trim would affect flutter at all. Just wondering if I missed the point of your post?
