Just thinking it might be wise to put the servos in the tail for the elevator. They will mount there real nice. One on each side!
This thing generally requires substantial amounts of nose weight (understatement) and I would recommend putting everything as far forward as possible. I think that even those guys who are using a G-38 up front are still needing nose weight to balance. I would certainly recommend doing your homework before sticking anything aft of the CG that does not have to go there.

Thanks for the reply. I plan on taking a lot of weight off the tail when I scale down those square tail serfices, That is why I make sure of what goes up front before I get to carried away with weight.
