Chalk me up as another "aft servo mounter".. I had also hoped not to cut the fuse up, but after dry fitting everything I quickly came to the conclusion that this plane wasn't going to balance easily without putting those servos in the back.. Mine balanced per the book with both rudder/elev servos in the back, rec battery placed behind servo tray under where the wing bolts are, engine (tower 75) about 1/2 inch back from the books numbers, as well as 1.5 -2.00oz wt in the tail!!

Anyway, none of it was that difficult..

thanks cobra!
