Plans say mount inside fuselage, but i saw a picture of it installed outside the fuselage under the outlet fairing. Which is correct?

Steve,

Since you posted this topic in the Open Forum (non model specific), it would be helpful to mention which Zenith model you're building - 701, 750, etc.

Sorry, It is the ch750 stol,

The plans do call for it inside. I have seen flying 750's with it mounted outside as well. I put mine per plan on the inside.

Side note: You may run into clearance problems with the cable touching the skin when the cables are in movement. I did. My solution was simple, you simply widen or elongate the hole in the fuse skin as needed. The aluminum fairing does a good job of covering up the hole if you need to do this.

.. and be sure not to cut in the longerons when widening the holes (I did :-(  )
