Hey Paul,

That's what I'm currently doing, but this too runs into a few issues. (FYI - in order to balance my model 5" I had to relocate two futaba 9303 servos in the tail (mock dual elevator setup), the 6v 1100mah battery located just forward of vertical stab, plus 2000Mah "C" cell for on-board glow just foward of vertical stab Aaargh :-()

While mounting the elevator servos in the tail my fears where realized. The pull/pull for the rudder conflicts with the elevator servo location - at least on mine. BTW .. I did mount the rudder horns according to the plans and also took a suggestion in one of the other threads about ensuring the horns are mounted in the hard wood block which is visible through the covering. I then did a bit of thinking and decided to relocate the rudder pull/pull to the bottom of the fuse using a few pieces of ply attached to the fuse stringers. Actually this should work out well since the servo will be further aft and as a result will assist in balance. Of course this also eliminates the pull/pull cable and servo conflict.

I'm pretty sure with this setup will avoid the need for "dead" lead weight.

I was a just a bit disappointed since up to this point my assembly looked excellent. Now I've got to buy additional covering to repair the previous pull/pull slots etc/...
