yea pete,
i don't weight is gonna be a problem.your not talking but a couple of oz.i know some people go crazy cause of couple of oz...pete,with ignition box being with long lead.would it be ok to put the box center of cg or back.will it effect anything or hurt the reception or cause servo problems being closer to them....
It is not a good idea to place anybody's ignition module adjacent to a receiver or to have any servo leads adjacent to the high tension spark plug lead. If you can arrange it in the fuselage that the ignition unit is more rearward while still maintaining the rules in the first sentence everything should work fine. Have a friend hold the airplane while it is running and do a good range check at idle and full throttle, from all aspects (right, left, front and back) of the airplane before your first flight. If there is any indication of loss of range shut everything down and reposition the equipment until the problem disappears.
Pete
