My rudder tray ended up being about 4'' right behind the wing tube and it also holds the twin batteries and reg's.

Which batteries and regs are you using? Do most guys run redundant Rx power?

I have the Tech-Aero adjustable reg and will likely use a small 800-mAh 2S LiPo.

The S9154 aileron servos are rated for 4.8v only, although the Futaba website says they can operate safely at 6 volts, but not above that. A freshly charged 5-cell NiCd or NiMH puts out about 7.2 volts, hence the 4.8v recommendation. With the reg set at 5.8v it will be perfect with the LiPo.
