Looking for light servo extensions: ABBRA

Could you equip lighter landing gear?  What do the ones you are using weigh?

Also, with four servos in the tail b/c you are nose heavy, wouldn't it 
make sense to put the RX in the tail as well?  You would need a way to 
get inside the rear of the fuselage, of course, but it might be worth it.
