It was also my concern. I was thinking, how to put them under the horizontal stab. It's to tight to do it from inside (unless you have 5 years old child helping you
). Other option would be to put them a couple inches in front of stab where you can rich from inside. But then it will look ugly and linkage will be long.
I don't have a problem with slop on push-rods, but I wanted CG a little more AFT. For now, I gave up and I put 5 cells 2700 NiMH battery as far back as I could.
And watch your CG. It is much easier to fix a nose heave plane than tail heavy.

I'm running the RCS 1.40 and TME smoke, two 8 oz tanks, 2000mah 5 cell rx batt, and sitting at 12.5 lbs.
How is you vertical performance with RCS?

Another thing I was thinking is doing TIP PLATES like the original Raven.
Tip plates on Raven - Brrrr, it looks ugly

Did you snag the Edge that was hanging from the ceiling in RC Country?
Yes, that's the same. Now it's hanging in my garage
. This plane was build very well. The guy, who did it, knew what he's doing.
I used to always build planes for myself, but this only time I made an exception because it's my first "big one". I know that anything can fly, but I wanted something solid, that will not fly into the pits
. The next one will be "made by RysiuM".
I'm very pleased with this work. The only think I had to replace was all servos (except throttle), pull-pull (it was worn out), and aileron's push-rods (I didn't like Z-bends).
I will keep you posted.
