Default RE: Build Thread-Scratch built for 8s

The elevator servo is mounted to one fuselage side. I decided to do it this way for two reasons. First, it gets the servo further back mainly to keep the pushrod short. I mounted it on its side so that the axis of the servo arm is parallel to the axis of the elevator hinge. It makes for a cleaner linkage. To get it that far back I went to a low profile servo, a JR 9411.
