<DIV> I have the servo of my plane mounted directly behind the engine on
the fuse but still in the exposed area of the engine heat and oil and it has
survived well. </DIV>
<DIV> My only concern about mounting the servo to the mount with the engine
would be all the excessive movement you would have on the wiring. Take a
piece of wire and bend it back and forth enough and you will get a failure
pont.</DIV>

<DIV>I gave this notion some thought a few years ago and even drew up an
aluminum mount to position the servo close to the engine centerline so as to
minimize the (vibratory) moment arm. (Behind the back cover, below the carb on
a YS120.) With no way of knowing just what servo component might reach
resonance or overheat, and expecting that the motor was most likely area for
failure, I decide not to try it. I've since seen some servos where the wiring
between the circuit board and the motor is a pretty stiff 3 strand wire that
likely wouldn't like much vibration either. As some have done this with
success, I probably over analyzed it. Go for it Bob, we're watching.</DIV>
