Yes, there must have been a reason all the servos are mounted up-front, suspect tail heavy design!

Tell heavy is typical for a warbird unfortunately

Re JT's comments on Scale models - Suspect a large proportion of your tuned pipe will sit aft the C of G which will counter the heavier motor. So fitting servos aft could be detrimental.

BTW - Given the installation problems you have - Don't be tempted to reduce the moment arm on the control horns for "scale effect"
(Frank tried this on the Provosts rudder but the pull pull wires had no authority on the control surface so i have had to surgically remove it and rework)
