You went to keep all engine related equipment (batt.,switch, ignition module) separate from your radio gear! As well don't use a steel push rod or cable between your throttle servo and engine.
If you have any other questions fire away. Best of luck!

Wow! Even the batteries ??? Darn.
I'm using an all plastic Sullivan flex pushrod for the throttle (only metal is 1" of threaded rod on each end. Luckily, my plane has elevator servos and rudder servo mounted on rear of fuselage (i.e., short <4" metal pushrods with plastic Dubro ballinks and clevises). I do have long runs of servo cables I'm pulling through a plastic tube to keep them on one side of the fuselage, away from other stuff like batteries and their wires. Currently, all my ignition stuff (switches and all) are isolated to one side of the fuselage while the radio gear is on the other. But Geeee!!!! Batteries too !!!?? Any way to sheild them or something? I REALLY need the weight toward the tail. Maybe I'll push the receiver battery back further (if possible?) and then move the ignition battery closer to the ignition module.
Thanks again for the responses!
