RE: To pushrod or not to pushrod?
If you opt to use a single pushrod shaft split into two, make sure to get the pushrod as close to the center of the fuse as possible at the servo end. Usually you have your rudder servo mounted dead-center to use a pull-pull, so position the servo arm on the elevator servo pointed toward the center of the plane, and push the elevator servo as close to the rudder servo as you can without causing mechanical interference.
