hi, i am worried about an aspect of a plane i am scratch building. for my rudder control, i have the push rod comming up at an angle to my rudder, here are 2 options i have thought of in controling my rudder. the first one here is where the push rod is bent so that the force on the control horn on the rudder is horozontal, and the 2nd picture here is where i have the rudder inclined at an angle so that the forse of te pushrod is not trying to push against the hinges that i will have holding my rudder on.
will either of these work, or would it work with the pushrod bring straight as in picture 2 and have the rudder as in picture1.
