Sorry for letting you down Simon, I couldn't offer any advice based on my experience as mine is still in it's box :(

I'm doing better than Dave B though, he hasn't even collected his from me yet :)

This is not the best photo to show how i have secured the servos.
For each servo lug (4 off) I have made stacked up 3 squares of 3mm light ply to make a block about 15mm x 15mm x 9mm. Then cut a slot to locate the servo lug and glued the blocks to the ply servo plate.
You may also note that i have re worked the servo lead cut outs in order to keep the plugs inside the fuselage.

I'm possibly being a bit thick, but I can't understand what you've done here. Any chance of a clearer description for the hard of thinking?

Re. servos...I always rought up the surface with a very coarse permagrit block to give the epoxy something to key onto. Only use a small blob of epoxy...it squeezed out and will need a lot of mopping up otherwise.
