Default Internal layouts for Phaeton 90

I'll be doing my maiden on a P90 in a week or so. I used a 16 oz tank with saito 120 up front. Also used a pull pull system for the rudder. The servos for rudder and elevator are under the cockpit. I also used a tiller for the pull pull instead of fastening directly to the servo. Aileron servos are in the wings and went with 4 ailerons. This was a swap meet plane I got all framed up for $35. The wings were straight and the fuse and empenage were straight also. Just a few broken pieces from hanger rash. Its covered with solartex and painted with rustoleum and clear coated with lusterkote gloss. I debated moving the elev and rud servos further forward because I needed more nose weight. 2 packages of led from the hobby shop. But all in all, its not that bad. Overall weight is 13 lbs 4 oz. I will fly it as a slow aerobatic plane anyway. So keep that in mind when mounting equipment. But remember, you might want to put rec and battery under the servos. You might cut off access.
