Radds is good, and you are wise to take it slow!

First thing I notice ARP is your mod brackets are a bit thin. I used an aluminum yardstick as material which was about 2mm thick and very stiff.

Second thing is mine hugged the servo, so you mig ...

I have never mounted a tail servo like this, but it seems like a great idea!

The servo arm moves in the same manner as the tail slider arm mechanism.
