I've seen the pictures of mounting the rudder servo back by the vertical fin, but how do you do it? Is there just a couple of pieces of hardwood glued to the fuselage skin to screw the servo into, or are there other things to reinforce? Thanks, Tom

I stood the servo on the fuse, just in front of the fin and traced it with a sharp knife. Then cut out a hole and dropped in the servo. Servo screws went right into the top of the fuse. That's what I did with a mini servo, no reinforcing. A standard servo would be a larger hole, you may want to brush a little epoxy around in the hole to give it strength.

geoharry-RCU. Thanks for the info. I'm suprised that there is no hardwood used. The epoxy is a good idea. I haven't got my plane yet, just trying to get everything in order. How thick is the sheeting back there? Thanks, Tom.
