The recommended engines for the kit .61 to .91 2 stroke and .91 to 1.20 4 stroke. I'm using the OS FS-120S III 4 stroke. All of the servos are mounted per the build plans. I could move the servos towards the tail but would only gain about an inch or two further from the engine. I don't know if its worth it. I'll take some pic's to provide more detail. I've built planes for many years but had a brain fart on this one. Thanks for the feedback.
Probably not worth it leaving them above the wing, but if you move them all the way back to the tail, Like the giant scale planes are designed, you'd gain a lot of wiggle room.

good luck
