Default RE: Old Stirling Spitfire

Someone suggested that rather than mess with reskinning, I just pull the bellcranks out and mount the servos in a hole in the wing, directly in line with the ailerons, elevator and rudder. Then I can just put small, 1/16th balsa plates over the servos so that just the horns stick out, so I can access them for repair and adjustment, but still have the skin look nice.

Does that sound like a better idea? And if I go that route, what sort of equipment should I be looking at, as far as engine and servos? The nose is cut for an exhaust on the left side of the nose, and it sounds like it will need a 60 (which means a size 60 motor, but what exactly does that mean?)
