Sorry I don't have a pic of them from behind. I can tell you however thet are even with each other. The rear edges of the two servos almost touch. Maybe the thickness of a sheet of paper between them. i did add a strip of ply from top to bottom for the screws on both ends to bite into. Keep in mind the plane in the pic is a GB. The SG is the same size but not sure how the tail is built up.
While your bigger engine will make hover better, it is going to hurt other aspects of 3D flight. The wing loading is already high on these and you are going to compound that. These are not really 3D planes anyway so you may be perfectly happy with the extra power. If it ever dead sticks on you, don't try and glide it in. Point it on a 45 degree down line and flair at 10'.
