Hi, mates.

Going on with the thread. As you can see, I have chosen to mount each rudder servo halfway along the length of the fuselage, which, once covered, will be under a trapdoor accessible from the inners radiators, in order to avoid ballasting the nose (we have already seen that those of elevator go inside the plane of stabilizer). I used special high-strength Sullivan Gold-N-Rod® transmission (S518 / 4-40) for this purpose.
