There's no way to get a lot of throw out of servos in the stock location.

I did put the battery over the tank, mounted the tank low to line up with the carb. I even tried using a large, sub c cell, battery for the extra weight and still needed a lot of nose weight to get it to balance.

I think what I may wind up doing: putting the throttle servo behind the tank to help bring some weight forward. This will allow me to put a servo in the forward bay to get more throw from one of them, maybe the rudder. Then I can open up one of the side servo locations to move in inward some to put a longer arm on for more throw also.

I'm also not a 3D flyer but I would like to have a plane capable so that I can one of the guys that do 3D to show me on my plane how it's done.

I picked up a heavy hub the other day for the Saito. I think I'll start with the mods on Fri when I have the morning off. Then maybe I can finish it up on Sun, if not then the following Fri when I'm off again.
