Servo and battery locations
Has anyone mounted a throttle servo inside the cowl ,trying to keep from adding weight. Also I've seen where a few also mount the receiver battery up there also.

RE: Servo and battery locations
Often but I like to mount my servos inside the plane and use the weight to get the CG. I set the plane on the CG stand and tape servos on the outside to see where they should go to get the CG then I hard mount them inside that area of the fuse. John Buckner has some cool ways to mount the battery inside the cowl area, I'm sure he will post some photos for you.

Gassers put the throttle servo up front in a lot of aircraft....but they have more room up front....if you can get the servo in there go for it
