sky2,
Your servo placement sounds a bit confusing. The rudder servo is higher and forward of the elevator servo, yet the elevator rods exit the fuse *above* the rudder control wires? It sounds like one of us has our wires crossed. Also, as long as you're going to the trouble of pull-pull on the rudder, why not go all the way and do it for the elevator as well?
Krossk - It sounds a bit confusing. Think forward as toward the firewall, and the vertical arrangement I talked about was as you are looking into the belly of the plane (fuse upside down). I'll try and take a picture of it and post. I reconsidered the aileron servo arrangement and will just do what the plans recommend. I became worried about control surface distortion towards the outboard with that set-up the more I thought about it.
Spicy - nice job on the struts. I made mine a "pocketed" arrangement. I made a copy of the rib with two 1/16" plywood tabs sticking up, then made new struts with pockets to accept the tabs. Drill through the whole arrangement and add blindnuts and it makes for a pretty secure arrangement.
