8mm will be fine, building is the best part of the hobbywell for me anyway!

They are nice little units for the price.... if ya put a nylon bolt in the bottom hole it will give if you hit something without doing damage to the hull.

I am using the same rudder on mine.The servo is mounted on it's side with servo tape.The brass screw in the rudder bracket is supposed to shear if you hit something but a nylon screw would be better.[8D]

brass will do the job but at the speeds your going it wont have enough force to over come the brass.
pull it out and tighten up the top screw tight and leave it

well it will be easier to drill your pilot holes for the spar before you glue the sponson to the boom tube. hope this is the answer you were looking for.

I've started the assembly of the right sponson!
As i did in the left one, first glued the inside and the top of the sponson.
