Matt, It fit in nicely between the glue blocks that run the length of the fuse. Once cut for servo I install two 1/4" X 1/4" glue blocks inside, front and back for the mounting screws. Granted when I mess up the only thing left is the tail, but never any failure in this area. I could give you dimensions for the cutout. If you go too far back towards the rudder it gets narrow and you could cut into the glue block stock. If you go too far forward you will be into the former.
Right thrust is about 3%. On this one I'm going to buy "Ernst" thrust plates. From what I've read they come in 1, 2 and 3%. This one I'm experimenting with different angles includeing down thrust. I've read a lot of sensible posts on the thrust thing. Seems worth looking into for this one.

Roger, the antenna scares me that close to wires. There are three long leads in there not to mention whatever the servo may offer as far as interference. On the canopy sand the inside with 120 grit sandpaper. Don't worry about the scratches, they all dissapear. Since its on the inside you get a no scuff shine thats good untill you wreck. Actually I'm useing my last one over again. I use "Krylon" paint to spray them and they now have "Krylon, Fusion" made just for plastic. Dries in 15 min. K-Mart, Wall-Mart. Joe
