Default Elvons-throw on Rookie

Hello

I need help on how much throw on the elevator on my Rookie.

The manual said get 35 mm throw (measured at the root). I would then have to use the "lowest" hole in the control horn and that is only 8mm from the top skin of the wing and the hole where the push-rod is coming out of the wing would be 5 cm long. If I use the second lowest hole that are 14mm from the top-skin I can get 28mm of up-throw. My servo is JR8411 set to 125% throw and I am using the longest servo-horn that i can.

Can some of you good people out there help me on this one ?

I also had to put fiberglas/carbon-rope on all fuselage former and engine-mount, because the glue Composite had just had cracked up many places :-( so I probably has a plane from the first batch when they used to much filler in the glue ? anyone else have this problem ?

Thanks.

Sorry for this rader long mail and the "typeos".

Best regards from
Andre B.
