Definetly use the YS 110 if you have it available. The 91 won't make you
happy.  The stock motor mounts in mine are over a year old & I've got about
7 gallons of fuel thru it with a YS91 at 1st then the YS110 and they are
still OK to me.

There has been some variation as to CG balance.  I needed 3oz on the tail
with my YS110.  Others have needed nose wt with the same motor, so I don't
know how to advise you re servos in the tail. I'd say lay it up & see if
it'll balance ok with them in the tail then decide from there.   MY Personal
preference is the pull-pull & the plane is setup for that(but you stated
earlier you weren't doing that)

The easiest install (other than pull-pull) would be to cut the bottom out
(enlarged hatch) and install DEPS. This way you could very easily attach the
supports for the pushrods then replace the bottom of the fuse.   I have a
friend who did this on the Excelleron 50 and it worked great - can't tell it
was ever cut open even looking for it.

Set the fuel tank just in front of the servos. It's not on the CG but its
pretty close.

  Greetings,
  I have need for some input. I'm running behind on my Epsilon project so I
bought an Excelleron to be sure I'll be able to compete (Dist. 8 Sportsman
rookie) should the Epsilon not be ready when the monsoon season ends here in
the Pacific NW. I'm wondering what you fellow fliers of this model
(Excelleron) are doing for elevator linkage??? I DO NOT want to run elevator
pull-pull so it looks like either Troy's DEP gizmo or an MK doo-hicky.
However, upon examining the fuse it would seem like dual servos are possible
as well. I just picked up some JR DS3301's (God bless ebay) & after sending
them in for inspection they'll be awaiting a good home - elevators?.
  Power will be courtesy of either my YS 91 or 110 because I'd rather fly
than spend the day trying to get a dumb-stroke to run properly (Flame suit
currently being mended so be gentle).
  Anyhoo, could I get some idea of any balance or other problems I might
incur with my engine & possible tail mount servo choice? I'd also like to
know what ya'll (for you guys east of me - youse if you're real east) are
doing for engine mounts. Will the stock mount take a YS 110? I have a Hyde
mount which I'd prefer to use but it looks like some whiitlin' (ca'van)
might be in order.
  You guys are a TREASURE of information & fun when yer not fightin n'
fussin like wet hens!!!!
  Steve B.
