Ignition placement?
I have a 27% 260 with a fox 40cc engine. I was left with very few options as to where to mount the throttle servo. so i put it on the side of the motor box. Now i must ask with the throttle servo(3004) being about six inches from the ignition box,is this going to spell c-r-a-s-h for my model or can it work? The ignition is a C&H
Any ideas would be great.Thanks

It can work, but I attempt to keep servos at twice that far away from the ignition box. Look for another spot "much further back" with the fuselage and use a long flexible control rod.

RE: Ignition placement?
Thanks for the advice. I would like to use con-rod an put the servo further back.With the type of engine it is almost imposible to hook up that way. I have seen another plane like this with a BME44 with the servo on the side of the engine box. He had no trouble
