Joe,
I am not a fan of JR servos due to the 8611 gear slop issue. and from what I understand the 8711 are faced with the gear slop problem. I have never had this problem with Hitec Servos.
I will make my own servo tray, I can make them lighter that the SWB two servo tray. I will follow-up with pics.

Me either--I had enough of the 8611's---looking froward to seeing your tray setup!

Little progress tonight. Repaired the damage on the wing socket sheeting, checked the fuselage over inside and out. Looks like they used epoxy during the assembly in China. I hit a few places like where the vast plywood jigsaw puzzel of joints with thin CA, (Just me). All in all, I am very happy with the fuselage. It is very light, very strong in the right places, and very BIG. Mounted the motor and figured out that I need 50mm drop headers, measured from the surface of the exhaust port, to the center of the tuned pipe tunnel. I also laid out all of the gear that I am going to use, just to get a feell of how much room I need, of which there is plenty.
Jake, I am using a 5" CF 'Extra' Style Spinner from Troy Built Models.

The Rudder servo tray did not come completed, I gues so that the builder can set it up as he pleases. The kit included a plywood tandem servo plate, I will make my own tray and support brace and finish it off nicely. I wish I had more time tonight to get more done, but Xmas time, family time, and work time , kinda collided so escaped into the "Laboratory" and I did what I could to work on the 3D monster. But tomorrow night I plan to get busy. I am going to open up the cannister bays and prep it for the Flat Black "BBQ Grill spray paint job". I also plan to get all of the trays made and equipment mocked up. Maybe even get it up on its legs in the next day or so.

Have you guys seen the new Model Aviation Magazine,the article about direct drive.I like the new direct drive way of getting the flying surfaces to move. They put the servo right on the hingeline mounted into the stab.wing and fin.. No ballends,pushrods ect. I wonder if you guys ever tought of doin this.The company's website is, www.durantdirectdrive.com It looks like a great idea.. Check it out..

Hey Frank,
I read that article. It was very good reading and seemed to be a good Idea. The only thing is that maintenance looks like it would be a real ............chore! It also looked like it would be hard to incorporate in an built up ARF. The other thing was that the servo housings, especially three on the rudder looked a little odd.

Hey Rennie,how are you?
Yeah I just looked at the website and yeah the triple on the rudder didnt look right. I also dont like the look of the box hanging out when the surface was deflected.. But it seems to work well,you would have to find a rib to mount it to..
I hate when other stuff interferes with our hobby.. Except when Im out riding the mountain bike,I love doing that..Anywho,
