Hi WW11P38 I see a quote from Herky on your response regarding the controls.
I agree with his comments, the push rods and connectors were as fragile as the spinner backplate.
I changed the design and used the kit push-rods as tubes solidly mounted along the fuselage as guides for flexible push-rods (probably Dubro Lazer rods or equivalent. The Lazer rods are quite rigid with little free play on the tail surfaces. It is a a lot easier (although fiddly) than installing rear servos

Sorry, just to explain, the push-rods are mounted inside the fuselage attached to the bulkheads.
