Ok, I have started!!

Chris, your instructions here are invaluable.

I have cut out a hole in one of the vertical stabs for the servo. I was hoping to use JR3301 but they are a bit bigger than the Hitecs and even they are a reasonably tight fit. The 3301s could probably be used but significant modification would have to occur.

As it happens, I had a couple of brand new Hitec HS85MGs which I believe are ballraced HS82MGs. They certainly fit the holes drilled in the servo plate. I don't have the scrap material as far as I can tell so I will get a bit of epoxy sheet from somewhere. From what I understand only the top part of the mounts that come with the servo are used and the mounts themselves weren't helping with getting the servo in the hole. Cutting the bottom half off as in the photo makes it a lot easier.

You mentioned using ply on the back of the servos when mounting to the plate. Could you expand on this?
