Tigerdude,
I know this may be like closing the barn door after the cows have gotten out, but maybe a suggestion for your next project. When you put in the pushrod guide tube did you put glue in the tubes and then try to make the pushrods connect to the servos and control surfaces? The first couple of planes I build I did it that way and had problems just like you are having. What usually happens is that you have excessive binding because the openings of the guide tubes are just a little bit out of alignment with the control/servo arms. Here's what I do to avoid having that happen. I'll use the nosegear as an example. Make your control rod up and slip the guide tube over the rod. Put the rod and tube in the fuselage where it is supposed to go. Then connect the rod to your nose wheel and then to the arm on the servo. With your fingers hold the tube in place and move the servo back and forth and make sure there isn't any binding. Then center the servo and get the guide tube in place, and then GLUE it in place. Do not move the control rod until the glue dries. Once it dries you'll find that you should have almost no binding on the control rod caused by the guide tube being out of alignment.

Hope this helps
