I'm building a Creek Hobbies Extra 330 with a Moki 2.10 and have a few questions?
1) Should the elevator servos (2) and rudder servo (or servos, see question 2) all go in the tail, or should some (or all) go under the canopy to achieve correct balance?
2) Should I use 1 or 2 rudder servos?
All servos will be Futaba coreless S9202's.
Thanks

on the lighter engines the os-160 the flyers are needing nose weight you may come out w/out any weight needed seeing how the moki is heavier. those flyers put their servos in the tail with one servo on the rudder on a pull pull set-up. i have one that i need to work on w/os-160 i will be installing my servo as per above described.....

I don't know the weight of the Moki, but with the 160fx, rudder in the fus' with pull-pull, and elevator servos in the tail, I had to add 8.5oz of nose weight.
If you can mount your elevator servos in the fus', I think you will have very little need for added lead.
Good luck. Check out the threads on this plane for more info.

i've been flying a katana and i put the servo's in the tail.it has a 3w 24 for power. i would put elevator servo's in the tail and use a pull-pull on the rudder.
