The Magnum 52 was mounted using a Great Plains mount, 40-70 size I believe. This is much easier then the supplied mount, and I had one. The throttle linkage is a Dubro 2-56 rod controlled by a Hitec micro servo. Don't use flex rods for this job, they change length as the temp changes and are sloppy to boot. Your throttle linkage needs to be every bit as precise as your control linkages. A Dubro 8 oz tank, fuel line and filters finish the setup. The tank is wrapped in foam and sitting on top of 2 dowels which run crosswise through the fuselage. It is held in place by 2 removable 2-56 rods running the same way. I see no reason to run a full size servo on the throttle with micros being as cheap the days. an ounce of weight saving's here and there does add up, so take it when you can get it. On a side note, Magnum mufflers don't hold up wel, so you might want to consider an OS.
