See [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8590407/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm]this post[/link] on FASST placement on SSE. I posted my final placement there. I was worried about "all the metal" around between the throttle cable, Al wing tube, servose, J-hocks, engine, etc etc

I found running the tubing allowed me to route away from the metal. No idea if this was your problem though.
