billberry:

If you look at Ed's elevator horn for the "Unfinished" fuselage, (which is still pristeen), you can see it looks a lot like the one you made, except his is all metal, and his is soldered. Just be sure thet set screw doesn't slip, or you're "toast". Yes with a plane this size, I'd definitely go with the strongest you can make.

I referred to a CF pushrod in an ealier post...attached is a picture of that pushrod. The rod is drilled/tapped for a 4-40 threaded rod. Aluminum tubing on the ends keep the CF from splitting or chipping.

The servo is located on the plane's exterior, and the linkage is short and with no "play". I'm installing this into my King Altair prototype, (Altair #4), whose fin and rudder required some repair. BTWThe fin has been cut down some is a bit less tall...the top basically cuts across the words SPA 22. Picture later.
