Default Sequencer needed or not? Solonoids, does it matter where u mount them?

hello,

Im new to jet and I have a Tamjets F18F Hornet ready for engine install. I know , this is too much for me to fly now, but I do want it put it together. I couldnt find anyone in the LA area to finish her up for me so I decided to take the plunge.

2 questions..

1. this has all the servos installed as well as retracts except the turbine and accessories. I have BVM smooth stop and high flow valves. Do I need a sequencer? i noticed that the gear doors close and open by themselves but Im wondering if sequencer would be better since its electronic and also the brake. If one is needed then which one? i dont want to break the bank either..

2. Does it matter where you put the solonoids? what I mean is does it have to be near the engine or could it be where the canopy is?

better yet, does anyone have a pic of this plane's build?

Thanks..
