Default RE: setting up a pull-pull rudder system

This can give rise to a problem unless you use a really stiff horn.

One of the things that I do when I cross the cables (which is the only way I've done it so far) is to use ball-joints on the servo end and put one ball-joint on the top of the servo arm and the other on the bottom.
The ball joint is not on the centre line of the horn. Therefor a torque is created which will twist a plastic or weak metal horn.

This might not matter on a SIG Four Star 60 flown at training speeds but anything bigger, faster or with larger control surfaces could have problems.
