Bravo majortom-RCU!!! I have been advising people to set up their linkages for resolution and proportional travel for a long time. Not only do you take better advantage of the servos' torque, the plane will fly more smoothly than ever before. I've seen planes at the field that were so squirrelly that the pilots could hardly get them down in one piece. Simply reversing the connection points of the pushrods as you explain turned them into solid, precise, smooth flying models; a complete night and day difference. It's possible that 3D flying has conditioned some pilots to hook up their pushrods backwards in an effort to get maximum throws, while only using a small portion of the servos' full travel and torque.
