That looks pretty slick. I see another servo there.. Assume that's your throttle?
Yep - Throttle it is...

I was going to put the throttle closer to the front using a small servo (Hitec HS55 or Airtronics 94051Z MicroLite Servo. Don't need a lot of torque to operate a throttle, and it will fit pretty much anywhere forward of the servo tray.
As it turns out, the plane balanced very well - I put a full cowl and Saito.72 on the nose and a sheeted turtle deck and Sullivan Tail wheel on the rear end.

I was also thinking of the elevator on pull-pull and you just made up my mind for that.
I did it to mine as much just to see if I could do it. I had seen another SSE with that mod posted here a while back and felt up to the challenge. It worked out very well.

Did you consider mounting the servo's directly behind one another with the more forward one elevated by 1/4 inch blocks to put it above enough to clear? I know.. do the math... the angle does not put in differential.. or very much of it when mounted slightly off set.
Actually, I never gave moving the servos around any thought. I just used the stock tray and raised the elevator servo for clearance. The biggest challenge was routing the cables through the fuse formers in the tail.

Anyway, nice looking setup. Thanks for that.
DS.
No problem - I've got lots more pics if you need anything. Just LMK
