Thanks Ernie,
I may try to do the same. If it's not too much trouble, can you take a few pictures and send them to me (
[email protected]). Also were did you mount your battery? Did you bury it in the fuse? If I could get away with just puttinng my battery further back and keep the servos in their stock location it would probably a bit easier. Also keeping the servos inside and away from the exhaust slime is appealing to me. I don't mind adding a bit of lead to the tail, but it seems some have had to add 6-7 oz with the saito 100. This seems a bit excessive to me, and I'd rather shift a few things back.
And as I asked previously how do you have your aileron/flap servos connected? Do you just plug/unplug all 4 from the receiver or an exetension every time? Or is there a cleaner way (I'm envisioning some sort of connector block that can gang up multiple servo plugs on both ends and give you one disconnect point, however I've never seen such a thing).

No pictures yet, but my elevator servo is mounted 3" in front of the LE of the stabilizer. (that's the center of the servo) It is mounted as low in the fuse as possible, on the right hand side of the fuse.
The Rudder servo (pull pull setup) is mounted in the very center of the top of the fuse, and it is 8" (servo center) from the LE of the stab.
I used a short piece of CF tube for the pushrod on the stab servo, and a Dubro Pull Pull kit on the rudder servo. With a ST 90 on the nose, I still had to add 3 little stick on weights on the tail, not much at all really.
This definitely the way to go. I would do it again in a second.
