Hey all... I am currently building this bird ( the yellow one ) and I am ready to mount the gas tank as well as the throttle servo. The tank if mounted on the floor of the fuse will be some 2 inches or so below the motor. Now I know the gas motors have a pump to draw fuel but do I need to elevate the tank at all inside the fuse??? Also I see no real good place to mount the throttle servo unless I go way back to the back tray where the pull pull rudder servo mounts and that would give me like a 14'' long throttle linkage??
Any of you guys that have built this bird that can guide me in the right direction?? Any pics of you ''inside'' setup?

Thanks for any help from the pros out there!!!

Ideally the tank should be slightly higher or lower than the centre line of the carb, so 2" below the motor might give some fuel feed problems. Even at 14" long the throttle linkage should be okay as long as it is properly braced along it's length so that it cannot flex.
