I recently purchased a E-yak from Extreme Flight(47.5in wing span). I had to do some sanding to get my elevator servo to squeeze into its hole. I then went to put it in and drill 2 holes on each side for mounting screws, i realized that there wasent enough wood behing the mounting holes for the screws to grab onto and hold the servo in place. Im wondering what other options i have besides screwing them in. I have had to epoxy servos in on other plane but they were only foam models. Would it be ok to epoxy or glue in the servo on this plane. Please anyone who reads this give me a couple ideas it would be appreciated.

Glue on an additional layer of plywood, and then screw the servo down. It gives
you more wood for the screws. I always drill small pilot holes for the screws as
well....it keeps the wood from splitting when the screws are installed.

I have the GP Reactor and used hot glue to stick the servos in--you can get cut them out if needed and I have not had one come loose yet.

You can also glue a strip of plywood under the mounting area.
