The top of the airfoil is more sensitive to irregularities than the bottom so I stick the servos on the bottom. The exception is slope foamies where they have to go on top to prevent the linkage being torn to bits when you "land". > I am building a C07 HLG that has a RS004 airfoil.

(I want I want I want I WANT) Those wings look as if they should be as smooth as possible. If I could find a suitably thin servo I'd place them behind and against the spar and use a rotary drive to the surfaces. (The servo would lie flat in the wing so you'd only have10mm or so thickness to accmmodate and you'd have no exposed linkages.) If the airfoil really is too thin for a servo then I'd put the servos in the fuse and use a torque rod to work the elevons. Martin Usher RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
