Default RE: Hobby Lobby Skylark e-Conversion
The rudder pull-pull system installed fairly easy. The pre-run steel cables attached easily to the supplied couplers with a piece of brass tubing that is pressed flat.

To mount my smaller HS-85MG servos, I added a few pieces of plywood to make up the gap in space.

Overall, the toughest part was routing the metal "Y" rod for the elevator linkage and the pre-installed strings helped to guide these into the tail slots.

Both the rudder and elevator control surfaces have firm throw response.
