Hi Bob,
How about mounting the throttle cable to the beam, with a half loop around to the other side of the engine and through the firewall? The half loop would give with the shaking of the engine, just like most autos use.Just a thought. Terry

I'm talking about mounting it TO the beams themselves on some flavor of vibration-damping mount (like what I'm doing in the Arresti) a la Roberto's confirmation of the concept.
There are "other" reports floating in of folks who have or are doing this already....

Bob:
As you probably have, I've seen many a large scale airplane with the engine servo mounted somewhere inside the engine compartment. If you've got the room, and can keep the installation clean and dry, why not?

Okay - since you've opened it, read on :)
Thinking of mounting an adequately-sized micro/mini servo directly to the beams of a motor mount to control my OS 1.60 on my experimental Arresti III....
Anyone ever done this?
