Talking Autopilot installation for Dynon 10" Skyview

I am thinking of buying the Dynon Autopilot servos to enhance my Rv6 with the 10" Skyview. Has anyone got any tips/photos/etc on the best way to install this autopilot setup? (Getting too old for this handflying stuff. LOL)

It is very straightforward with the most difficult part being mounting the ADHARS behind the baggage compartment and running the pitot (and AoA, if you have a Dynon Pitot) line. That required me to drill up the seat pan and baggage compartment floor. All of my openings through the rear spar where full but I had room in a hole I put through the rear spar during my build for both lines.

Check out this thread, starting at post #204, for pictures and comments regarding the upgrade.

PS. Regarding the actual installation of the servos, etc., can view this page of my website. The servo installation is really very easy, as is the wiring, if you use the Dynon hubs.
