Default proper servo arms in jets?

Since I'm getting no bites in other threads on this subject, I'd thought I'd throw this question out there in it's own thread for the "experts" to chime in

I'm in the process of putting together a Flying Legends Hawker Hunter and I've noticed if I use small servo arms there is no way I can get proper control deflection without butchering the surrounding area in the stab or fin? What size are guys using for servo arms as appropriate to get good leverage and resolution from their servos? I mean measurements between the servo spline hole and the hole on the arm being used to drive the control surface? 1/2"? 1"? What's the gouge?

Thanks
