Enticing though the idea of having a Channel Master on a USALS motor might be, I think it's a recipe for disaster. Whether mounted on a Stab or another motor it's going to struggle to turn. I found a reference to the weight of a 2.4M CM being a minimum of 150kg. Being conservative and estimating the 1.2M to be a third of that, it's still 50kg.
