Actually, you dont need to electronically reverse the servo or use a syncroniser. Let us take the LHS servo looking from the tail- if it turns counterclockwise with the pushrod connected to the servo arm above the pivot point, it will pull the elevator down. Now consider the servo on the other side. Here also the servo rotates counterclockwise but has the pushrod connected into the same horn hole but below the pivot point.
Actually I was one of the people who told you how to do this in the other thread. But at that time we were discussing another plane.
Again I would NOT suggest doing this with the Funtana. You CAN do it, and the results ARE better than say using different TX channels, but with the large control surface movements of the Funtana you'll still see that one side will rise higher or lower than the other... and that will result in a tendancy for the plane to roll slightly at high deflections....
Been there, tried that.

You mean think of the fuse side as a truss and analyse which way the landing force will go and add additional tri and rectangular stock along the force lines? Thats exactly what I will do. I have done the same with my Topstar.

Yes exactly, trying to spread out the load area...
All too often people make the landing gear blocks STIFFER, which actually can result in the gear pulling out even faster!
Instead the idea is to resist the torsional forces imparted by those big levers ( the gear itself ) that are bearing down on the wood.
Current landing gear design effectively takes a crowbar to the gear mounting area every time a plane lands.
Older designs and trainers, were better at spreading out the force or giving way slightly to absorb the impact.
Sprung gear can handle abuse much better than stiff carbon.
