but the pull pull sistem , used by quique, worked fine to win the world championship

DESPITE THE OBVIOUS FLYING ABILITIES.....this sistem, won the WC, so it isnt too much " rolling elevators " coupling...

i dont know...the plane was equiped with that sistem

the world champion wouldnt use it if its not good...

IMHO...
You got it..... Pull-pull on elevators works just fine. Have done it for more than 20 years that way

Frank I. gave very good info. I would add that as long as you place the servo output arm in the center of the fuse, both latterally and vertically, it will matter very little whether the servo is upright or sideways. Upright is a simpler set-up but sideways is a very slightly more accurate set-up....but hardly enough difference to notice.

One more thing on the 6-32 bolts as horns that Frankie mentioned. These can be bent forward to get the clevis exactly on the hinge line. A simple tool I use for the task is a 1" length of aluminum threaded stand off stock from the local ACE hardware store. It's generally 1/4" diameter by various thread size. You simply thread it down, bend forward slighlty, then unthread a bit and bend forward some more. Work the horn deliberately like that until you get the desired curve to the horn. Pliers will also work, crudely. The aluminum stand off stock produces an easier, cleaner result
