Default pushrods in phoenix atlantis - split elevator

hi guys

i know the phoenix atlantis isnt exactly at the top of the list for pattern, but it should help "whet my appetite"... my question is concering the pushrod arrangent which requires using hard balsa dowl with a threaded rod at each end.
However, the elevator is in two pieces so the elevator pushrod requires two threaded roads in a y-shape; one to operate each elevator half.

I have found with these sorts of setups, that any sideways movement results in an "aileron effect" on the elevator halves which is totally useless.

I dont know too many other modellers; what methods do people use for this sort of setup?

regards


mike
