Default MVVS and rear mounted servos

I think the MVVS 2.15 will take this plane to the moon and back, and do it on only a few ounces of gas; rather than 10 gallons of glow fuel.

I'm still undecided on the gasser. If things work out with my trade negotiations, I'll probably get the MVVS. It would be great if I could put a few servos in the tail to offset the weight of the gasser. I just love short linkages. It makes for a nice, positively controled surface with very little or no slop in linkages. There are two different places that I could use to mount the servos in the tail. One is WAAAAAAY in the back, right by the rear surfaces, and the other is about 1/4 of the way up the fuselage towards the nose. If I need the tail weight to compensate for a large gasser, there are a few options for me.

I'm settled on servos for the plane. Hitec 625MG for elevators and ailerons, and a Hitec 805BB Giant for the rudder. Standard JR 517 for throttle, and maybe, just maybe, a Hitec HS-81 for a servo actuated choke. I always run a 6Volt pack, so the Hitec servos will deliver around 94oz.in of torque. That should be plenty of torque. The 805BB is something over 300oz.in. at 6Volt. Can you say "Figure 8 knife edges"??

HOT DIGGITY!! I'm excited!
