Default RE: Powerline Hobbies Edge 23%

I hinged the tail today and here is a problem. Both elevator servos are at the tail (below the stab). FThe fuselage at that point is to narrow to fit two servos side by side. So PowerHobbies solved that problem by mounting the right servo above the left one. Cool, but there is a small problem. Now on the right servo horn is pointing down, on the left side the horn is pointing up.
The problem is in geometry. There is no way for both elevator halves travel the same distance when both servos travel the same angle. It is no good for precision flyng.

Now I need to do the same "surgery" that I did in H9 Edge. I will move elevator servos one former to the front. Here the fuse is wide enough to fit both servos side by side. Both servos will be at the same distance and the same level relative to the stab and both horns will be pointing up. I need to make and glue in plates for servo mount.

I don't have 100% matching yellow covering, so there will be a "spot". But for me the most important thing is the performance not apperance.
