Hi!
Yes! Couple (glueing) the elevator halfs together, eighter by using a wooden dowel or a aluminum /carbon fiber rod is much better than using two servos, a Y-servowire, or worse a Y-piano wire pushrod.
I'm curious why you say this? The tail is already built. From the pictures in the review (I could go to the garage and unpack mine for a look, but I've already got 2 projects on the workbenches), there is no clearance on the rudder for linking the two elevator halves. This means he'd have to start hacking away at the rudder to make the clearance and then glue something onto the elevators. There is however, plenty of room to make a Y pushrod work. There is also already space for the two servos, so a Y-servo wire is an easy fix.
