Default aileron servo mounting?

tiger 60 kit, instructions call for the servo to mount with the entire control horn exposed as in the 1st pic.
For cosmetic reasons only, I would like to put the servos in a servo box (I already have the 2 servo boxes) that allows me to turn it on its side. (2nd pic)
I will make a panel that covers the servo box. only the control arm will stick out of the wing.

Is there a downside to mounting the servo this way? There is the extra weight of the servo boxes and extra 4 mounting screws...
Any tourqe would me in a different direction than the original plan...

Not an important mod but I prefer the look of just the servo arm sticking out of the wing as opposed to the whole top of the servo sticking out...


Any other issues?


Thanks

Steve
