On to the Rudder servo. The horn provided is not very wide, so I was able to find a servo horn with the same width between the holes. I needed to mount it in a way that it's all removable even after the rudder is glued on. I used screws with lock nuts that provide studs handing down, then I can slide the ball links on and off even after the rudder is glued. I moved the horn on the rudder a bit farther up than the flats provided, made my own. I also only used the back set screw. That way I'll be able to take it off if needed. One screw can actually hold better than two anyway. I trimmed just a bit off of the rod hooked to the rudder so that it would not hit the fuse. Once I had everything lined up and working smoothly, I was confident to glue on the rudder. If needed, I can take it all apart. It's a nice system.

To add a bit of strength and take away some strain on the hinges I added a piece of wood as shown in the last photo.
