One of the things that always annoyed me about my last RV was that the electric elevator trim was incredibly sensitive at normal cruise speeds… trying to trim out control pressures would always turn into a game of "how fast can I press and release the trim button so the airplane doesn't get out of trim in the opposite direction". So to improve that situation with this airplane, I bought a Safety-Trim two-speed trim control unit, which gives you the ability to slow down the trim servos when flying faster than a preset airspeed threshold. It also provides some protection against trim runaway due to a stuck switch, which is nice.
To mount it, I made some little standoffs from scrap alclad:
I attached it to one of the ribs under the pilot-side baggage floor. It's a pretty short run forward from there to the control sticks, and the wires to the servos can go fore and aft through the center tunnel. I'll run the wires to it later – right now I'm just trying to get all my boxes mounted where they need to go so I can plan my wire runs.
In the photo above, you can also see that I've riveted a bunch of plastic tie wrap anchors to both sides of the left and right tunnel ribs. They'll get put to use soon when I start running wires through the tunnel
