I am about half way through my Flip 3D. Getting readyto start on the backend. Something has ocurred to me.

First off, I hate those elevator halves connected by rods or sticks. Think its a horrible setup, long term. In looking at the plane and seeing a post someplace else, it occurs to me that it would be very easy to put mini servos in the existing slots in the rear to run both elevator halves separately. I have Hitec MG225's that give more than enough torque for the split elevator. Then I can mount the rudder servo forward on the bottom of the fuselage, just aft of the wing and run a pull-pull to the rudder.

So, has anyone done this, if so how did the balance come out and what engine did you use. Mine is a YS63.
