I couldn't stand it. After considering the issues concerning the elevator I decided to look at the possibility of changing the orientation of the servo. I found that the Futaba S9551, which is a low profile servo, just might work. It just did.

Also, I did notice that the engine thrust is about 1/2 degree up which doesn't seem right to me. The mount for the engine is a flat plate that is secured to the beams. Do I need to change that?

I also decided to go with the YS FS70 which is lighter than the YS63S and has a bit more power.
