Default RE: Funtana Push Rods

here is my elevator setup.. This is my second Funtana... I had problems with the 2-56 rods on my first one so i went a bit overboard for this one.

I am trying something different here. I soldered a control horn onto the elev joiner wire (should have made longer). There is a picece of carbon tube to take the stress on the joiner wire where it goes through the fuse. The pushrod is threaded 4-40 with a carbon fibre sleeve over it and dubro 4-40 ball links on each end.

Notice the extra control horn?? on my first funtana i had a HS81mg on each elevator whick worked fine.... If this setup didnt work, i will use dual servos on this one too, so I put the control horns in before assembly to assure alignment with each other.

Rudder and ailerons are set up the same
