I had to put the servos back a bit - I have a .80 FS in the nose. Note the position of the Rx batt (5cell pack) also. I setup everything so, that the CG can be moved with batt only for 1/2" forward or backward.

Never had any problems with that EZ connectors. You just have to make it right - you have to do complete check-up of a model once in a while, all the screws must be tight and locked. That's about it. Why do I use such a setup? I don't use 2mm steel pushrods (GP original), but a 0.8mm springsteel in a 2mm teflon tube, guided thru 3mm plastic outer tube. It's light, playfree, no friction and durable. EZ connector on one side, CA and crimped threaded pushrod end with a clevis. Such setup is 60g lighter than the original version. Never had a failure in years (on GP Easy Sport .40 and GP Patriot .40, both .46 powered). Bigger airplanes have servos closer to surfaces and all the links are as direct as possible.

Rx is Futaba FP-118R (I think that this is the whole name of it, but it's from the top of my head). Receviers are Futaba, it's that "Robbe/Futaba" Tx that is different (formerly the FC-xx and now the FX-xx series). I have a FC-18 V3 plus, and as it looks like am going to FF9 this summer.
