I have 3 servo SWB tray with Hitech 5955's all round(single on each elevator). If you are running pipes you will need to watch the CG. I have everything mounted on a plate behind the firewall(2X4800 Fromeco, 1X2300 Nimh, Ignition, throttle and choke servo). With a DA150, Mejzlik 28.5X12 and BMB Pipes my CG came out at 97mm from the tip at the leading edge. For IMAC you wouldnt want it any further back then that.

Eagle should I drill and tap these horns for the ball links or just connect them with what they have.

I think you will come out tail heavy. I have my rudder servos mounted off the back of the tank tray, gives a fair bit of clearence above the pipes. With proper cooloing outlets they dont get very warm.

Could you possibly post pics of this??? I really dont want to come out tail heavy.

Heres a shot of the cooling slots I cut on the bottom of the fuse.

Thanks abunch, How did you do the cooling holes so well and what are your wires put in???

[excelpoint]

The cooling slots were marked out with a template then cut with a dremel and cut off wheel, curved portion was done with a small sanding drum on the dremel. The servo leads are inside some protective sleeving from a company called TechFlex. I used the PET stuff but you need to seal the ends with a bit of heat shrink or it will fray. The clean cut stuff is better for cutting without a hot knife. I used 6mm and 10mm. You will need just under 6m in total to do the 260 if you run all your leads in it. Heres a link to the Techflex site in the USA.

Heres a pic of the tray I made behind the firewall for the batteries etc to sit on.

Tex I think you should drill for the ball link bolt. threading the aluminum with no backup nut would be hazardous, I think the ball links come with 4-40 bolts

[Tex]

Can I drill and tap both horns or just one, I'm wandering if it will get in a bind.

[excelpoint]

Just helps protect the leads from rubbing etc plus more importantly they look good. LOL

Eagle did you do the same thing with horns on the ailerons
