Default H-9 P-51 Elevator Lag on side without servo??

I made up my own push rods with 2/56 wire. soldered on quick clips on one side and adjustable Sullivan's on the other, also used Dobro pin-ed hinges.they move very freely so the servo does not have to work hard, only on wind force. make sure you do not have a gap between elev and stab, also have a OS 60 for a motor and it will do any move I want except fly up or to quote hold on its nose. the elevator calls for 11/6 up and down and we changed that to about 5/8 or 3/4 inch other wise the plane will loop in a 10 ft circle, way to much throw. all others seem OK On take off nose started over and gave a little up and the plane jumped 3 ft in in the air and was airborne. on landing gave it about 1/4 throttle and it set down with no problem GREAT PLANE.......
