Marty,
I put all mine in the scale location and prefer them there. By doing so there is less stress on the rudder and rudder servo. Also if the plane has to ditch because of dead stick with gear up the tail wheel is not going to pull out of the rudder or damage the rudder.
(there I go giving up secrets... darn it).
