Yeah, that's correct. Putting the servo in the "conventional" way will not work as desired. Put the elev. servo on it's side. Make sure the pushrod is in the center of the fuselage and the motion is along the center too. Make sure the servo arm swings parallel to the center line of the fuselage (it may be offset slightly depending on the type of end link you use. This works very well and it's not hard to do. If you make a ply servo tray - be sure the servo is isolated from the airframe somehow (rubber grommets). Futaba has a ready-made plastic tray for their standard size servos that may also be used but sometimes it doesn't fit into the small (40 size) planes.
