nice install, but i would not personally feel safe with the match box on the 2 servos for the elevator .. If i was to use a matchbox, i would put it behind a power box or some sort of power bus .. im asuming those are 8611 servos , and I know they are impossible to get matched up, so you do need a match box ... or how about a pair of Hitec 5955 servos ? didn't you hve a bunch of those ? anyway, thats just me and my paranoia ..

looking good man ..

Dude, You read my mind..

I used the Hitecs on my flaps and all it took was 2 seconds on the programmer to reverse one. They perfectly matched and work flawlessly.

I continuously ran the servos (8611A's) for 10 minutes with a load on the elevator and they did not heat up or anything.
I tried different servo locations with one longer rod but just was not getting the loads right.

I did not close out the back for this reason. I don't feel comfortable with the match box on elevators. I'll try out the reversed servo when it arrives or it is time for the Hitecs.
