There will be no interferance problem, but you need to make sure you use heavy duty servo wire #22 should be considered minimum.

Your welcome. Something I saw one time needs to be mentioned. An individual had the same situation you do and did excatly what you are considering. All worked fine until he had an accident with the plane. The plane was pretty much a mess, but the rear mounted battery pack became a heavy missle that destroyed servos and RX. Just food for thought.
