Default Re: CA Models Osmose Delux ARC

Because I'm going to run FUT 9650 servos in the stab for the elevators, I want to mount my throttle servo, header tank, and battery forward fo the gear plate. Here are the trays I came up with. I'm using the header tank as "free-ballast" incase I end up a bit tail heavy due to tail mounted servos, not because the motor needs one to run properly. The battery will be A123 1100 mah pack, no regulator.

I am using dual elevator servos for my own reasons. #1, there are no glue joints inbetween the servo and the surface! The mini servos are mounted and use MK hardware, Hangar 9 ti-prolink, and MK bb clevis. On almost every DEPS in the past one of the glue joints is eventually going to break in the system, and I decided to forego that on this plane.

Seeing these pictures reminds me that I had already mounted the landing gear. There was no surprise there, other than to mark your own holes and position the landing gear far enough back as to not interfere with the chin cowl. Still though, some minor clearing of the chin cowl was necessary to clear the gear.
