I used a 1995 Toyota heater control motor for a trim servo on both my rudder and elevator. A 1992-1995 Lexus ES-300 also works. The heater control cables also work well because they are very strong and lightweight. Use the pink and orange wires to run the motor. If you need feedback for a gauge to tell the location of the trim tab, use the other 3 wires for that. I chose not to use a gauge.

I purchased the window crank at a local hardware store for under $10.00. This crank, there are several different models available, is the type used in some campers and is readily available. The crank has a geared shaft that travels for and aft depending on the direction you turn the small 2 inch handle. This device comes complete with mounting hardware and was simple to attach and works great. Just another idea, hope it helps.
