O.K. guys, I've searched and read all the old posts on this topic, but I never did hear from anybody that actually mounted the elevator servos in the lower location (old Edge kit) and turned the servo arms up. I am just starting on my second Edge (yes, it is the old style with two sets of cutouts above/below each other) and I remembered on my first kit, the geometry of the elevator linkage was not ideal. It sure looks like if I mount my servos in the LOWER bays and use a 1 1/4" servo arm pointed UP that I will get near perfect geometry. The only possible issue I can see is interference with the rudder pull/pull cables, but on my original edge (with the servos in the TOP bay and arms pointing DOWN) they crossed over the pull/pull cables anyway without any issues. PLEASE can someone clear this up for me (and any others interested) once and for all? Thanks for any help/experience you may be able to provide!!!!
Regards,

I am not sure if I am reading you loud and clear, but
if you are saying that the openings are such that you could have one arm up and one arm down and not interfere with the rudder pull-pull then that would only mean that the construction is as ingenious and as simple as Pacific Aeromodels Edge's in that you only need a Y harness for your elevators.. But I am sure it couldn't be that simple..
