Default Balsa USA Phaeton 90 Bipe

Phaeton Modifications
I just got the fuselage framed up, and made some changes to the tail. I changed the tail to look more like a Pitts, with rounder edges to mimic the wing ends. I stick build all surfaces and then sheeted them with 1/16" balsa. Looks allot cleaner and goes along with the lines of the plane better IMHO. I'm going to add ailerons to the top wing. Has anyone run into problems putting in-wing servos (one for each side) in the lower wing? What about servo placement in the fuselage itself. Any suggestions? I also changed the 1/4" sq. longerons in the fuse to 1/4 x 5/16 to add more strength.What other mods have you builders done to this great plane?

Thanks,
Loren
