Default Push Rods

I ordered another plane and it comes with cables instead of pushrods which is better for 3D planes?

Thanks

blonde or brunette? (or redhead )

Depends on what you like. Generally pull pulll is more precise, but more difficult to setup than a standard pushrod and is used where weight is a concern in the tail (WWI) whch works out since most were pull pull anyway.

IMHO pull-pull is much the better. Do be sure to have either none or a bit of positive Ackerman in the set up. Positive Ackerman will allow the cable not being pulled to slack off a bit when you move the surface away from neutral but; this will have no detrimental effect on the control accuracy yet will be easy on your servos. Two things will spoil a pull-pull system; to tight a cable or negative Ackerman. You want the cables just tight enough to have no slack at neutral position. If you do not know what Ackerman is, you can find numerous references to it here in the forums.
