I would try turning your rudder and elevator servos around. I think it might give you more clearance . plus I would get new 2 56 push rods . It comes in 12" lengths and make new ends . Get gid of the ez connectors and go with a simple L bend with a Du-Bro EZ link to hold them on . either that or z bends. If you can get a refund from the hobby shop or a store credit maybe you could pick up the Du-Bro wire bending tool . It makes perfect L and Z bends every time . Look it up on line. There is a video on how to use it . It really helps to make push rod ends . Don't give up . You have a good little plane there. Just make sure its done rite. If you have any questions please ask
