A general EZ question. Most of the EZ arfs as I recall used a single elevator servo with the forked pushrod (wood dowel with a metal rod at one end and two metal rods out to the elevator). I am putting together a Chipmunk like this and the setup is not at all stiff. You can grab either elevator and flop it around. At the very least, I think I will have to put a wood plate somewhere along the pushrod to keep it from flexing sideways with a load on the elevator. Whole setup seems cheesy. What do you guys do when a Y-type pushrod arrrangement is called for? Not much room to work with either on the EZ arfs, so redesigning it is out of the question. Anyone tried switching over to gold-n-rods or the like? Thanks.
