Default RE: Midwest Extra 300xs Build

The next item up is the receiver. I am going to try to make a mount under the fuel tank, actually would be in the front deck above the fuel tank when the plane is upright. I will be able to get to the receiver by removing the four screws that will hold the fuel tank brackets in place. The adjustments for the frequency will be exposed in this setup as you can see in the pic.

For the throttle servo I want to try the position in the fuse next to the rudder servo. I know a lot of people put them in the front as close to the throttle arm as possible but I wanted to avoid as much weight up front as I could. I will be using a 4-40 splined nylon nyrod attached to a ball snap for the throttle arm. The second pic shows the straight shot from the servo (bottom) to the firewall, and the throttle arm.
