Todd has an elevator setup where the duel servos are at the center section of the fuse and two thin CF rods are making the direct connection.
Seems one can do the same for rudder? That is, no pull-pull but a long CF rod passing through several balsa ''bushing'' plates.
Not to argue that pull-pull is not ideal for pattern but like to bounce a potential different setup idea.
This sounds very similar to the Central Hobby DEPS set-up, but with 2 servos. I have used the single-servo DEPS and it works fine but was a little trickier to set up than I expected.
Now, I like the 2 mini's in the stabs.
I have seen Dan Landis' 2-servo set-up he (and some others) are using for the split rudder on the Passport. He uses 2 mini's flush-mounted in the fuse under the stabs.
With 2 servos on a conventional rudder with pushrods, it might take a bit of mixing to keep the servos from working against each other.
On my passport, both pairs of servos for elevator and rudder half are at the tail.
If the rudder servo (assuming one) is mounted at the center of the fuse, whether a push-rod setup is equally reasonable. The weight of a 2mm CF rod + some balsa plates probably is close to that of the pull-pull wires, and you definitely will not see any slacks.
