Default RE: Pull pull setup for elevators

Running your elevator servo pull-pull on its side , mounted at the lower area of the fuse will give you the necessary room to clear a pull-pull rudder servo and cables that are mounted closer to the top of the fuse . In fact , my Pursuit 120 ( a great Sam Turner design ) , has a narrow fuse and there are no problems. Recommend you invert the rudder servo. Run 6-32 bolts through hard points to extend 1" above elevator surface, top and bottom. Ditto rudder bolt.Drill the hole through the hardpoint with the elevator top facing your drill press base and in the top foam shuck ,if you have one. This technique places the bolt at an angle for the best position over the hinge line. Run your pull- pull cables through the fuse attached to a length of thin solder wire simplifies the connections. It's a great , lightweight and slop free setup .Good luck !
