Default RE: Modeltech Saphir Build

The biggest problem with ARF-ARC in my experience has been that sometimes the installation of the control linkages the tail can be challenging.
This is a long, thin fuselage and getting nyrods in is a pain. Had I built it, I would have installed them before I applied the sheeting.
I hate elevator connectors and "Y" pushrods, so I'm using 2 elevator servos. I can't put them in the tail because I'm using a 2 stroke and don't want to have to ballast this already heavy plane. Anyway, here's the radio installation. Rear servo is for the pull-pull rudder, throttle is in the middle front. I would have liked to have my nyrods anchored more than 3 places but each is only responsible for half the elevator and they feel really positive.
