Neither does the length of the control horn have to be the same as the length of the servo arm. As long as, at maximum deflection, no binding of the moveable surface occurs, no problem. These two items are the most abused myths of pull-pull systems. The most common mistakes I see on the beginning users of pull-pull is negative Ackerman and to tight control lines. These comments are the result of some 20+ years of successfully using pull-pull systems. When I first started using the pull-pull systems I made the same errors but logic and experimentation soon sorted out the myths from the facts.
I apologize for posting in a thread you own.
