Hi Guys,

I wanted some experienced advice on servo placement on a Four Star 120.

I will install a separate "rack" for the throttle servo, towards the nose of the plane. And I guess I need an extra servo for cut off on the engine?... ( Don't I?)
I think I'm okay there cause I need to be 12" back from the engine and I've got 13 or 14 inches to work with. (a BCMA 26cc gas).

I'm waiting to receive most of the hardware I'm going to need from Tower Hobbies in the mail, sorry I only had 1 spare servo for the pics.

I know s/one will ask me what servos I'm using so I may as well tell you now. I also ordered 4-40 size hardware, and heavy duty kwik links & hinges, control horns etc.
I'm kinda guessing at some of what I need, but I think I got it covered.

In the pics: I want to use the two outside servos for th elevator & the one in the center for Rudder.

I drilled holes to give myself a straight line already through the fuse, and carved out one of the Kit cutouts to feed the pushrod through the side.

Is it okay to mount my servo horn this low on the rudder? I could go a little higher w/ a little more work.

For the Elevators (& 2 more for the ailerons): 2 @ "Tower Hobbies TS-64 Servo High Torque Standard 2BB U" . These are 83 oz. Each @ 6V

Here's the link:

For the Rudder:
1 for the Rudder : Tower Hobbies TS-70MG Super-Torque 2BB Servo U. This one is 133.3 oz. @ 6V

I've seen other set ups w/ the servos in the tail. I much prefer to have the servos hidden inside the plane.

I'm also going to modify the size and shape of the elevator and rudder. (Looks more like a Super Sport when it's done!)

Tell me what you think.

Thanks,

Dan
