Default Magnum building questions

Thanks guys, but I need some clarification on the elevator setup you've developed. Bare with me if its a dumb question.

If you put a link on each side of an elevator servo, you will get a one side, one side down situation (ie. like the aileron setup). What am missing?

I'm confused

Also, did you continue to use the installed tubes to run the 4-40 rods and did you bend the rods?

I've always build my controls so that the linkages push perpendicular to the control movement. It doesn't look like this is the case with the Magnum.

OSSIE - I agree. The elevator setup could use some improvement and I'll be very interested in seeing the new version as well.

Thanks for the pointers. It looks like a fun package. I'm dieing to get it flying.

PS> I think most of the nice carbon fiber covering will fall off on the first flight
