Guys, lets not nuke this
Guys, lets not nuke this out. Adding a bow planes servo is extremely easy. Add the third servo in unused space on the existing equipment tray. On the U-47 it will fit aft of the aft battery well. add an additional seal in the aft bulkhead with the pushrod running AFT through it. Run a long pushrod forward on top of the WTC (on the outside) to the bow planes, this rod attaches to the aft pushrod with a ball link.
Simple...
Building a special box forward or waterproofing a servo and a number of other overly complex solutions are un-nessesary and create many potential problems. You have space inside the WTC just cut out a hole a put the servo in it. It works, I did it. Al Matava of "Ships N Things" has the U-47 I built which has this installation. It only took me about 15 minutes to do it.This requires no special waterproofing or extra servo leads, it is very simple.
Good Luck,
