Hello,

I'm just starting to put together a Lanier Stinger 60 ARF. I've done a bit of reading about it in the forums, and I see that it tends to come out nose heavy.

I'm over powering it with a YS 91, so I'm expecting it to come out even more nose heavy than usual. Instead of adding lead to balance it out, I'm planning on installing dual elevator servos and putting them in the tail. I'll probably go with a pull-pull rudder servo in the stock servo tray.

Looking at the fuse tonight, I noticed two things: First, it's very narrow - too narrow to install the servos directly opposite each other in the side of the fuse. I'm thinking that the best thing to do is to install one higher than the other (and on opposite sides of the fuse), so that they can be the same distance from the elevator. The higher one will have the control horn down from the servo hub, and the lower one will have the control horn up from the servo hub. This should make the pushrods pretty even.

The thing I haven't thought through is how to build in servo trays. The fuse has a bunch of cut-outs, so there's no solid sheet of balsa on which to install the trays. I suppose that some a few people have already installed rear servos, so I'm interested in ideas (and maybe photos) about a good way to do it.

Finally, I'd like to install the fuel tank on the CG. The stock tank is too tall to fit under the wing. Does anyone have a suggestion about which tank to use that will fit and deal with the YS pressure? I'd like to get at least 12oz if possible.

I'm really impressed with this ARF. The build quality looks good, the covering is perfect, and the fit of parts is better than most ARFs I've put together. It's going to be a pretty quick project.

Thanks for any suggestions,
-Wade
