Hi HR Todd

Thanks for your input.

This control system could geometrically be confusing. But if you look at the configuration you'll see its very secure and has no binding problems. The servo simply rocks an arm connected directly in front of it via the control rods with the loads pushing/pulling on the center of the rods.

The position of the screws on the elevator control arm are only to allow clearance from the Rudder post. The straight line of the control rods to the elevator linkage have nothing to cause binding or slop. The travel of the servo is not a concern, it has more than I need and can be adjusted by the many features on todays modern radios.

Think of the CMP factory elevator connection, and it may work perfectly, but imagine the angles involved there if you apply your thought. The elevator connections are actually pushing outward. Assumed equally.

This has worked for my many models in the past without fail. It may not be the best way, but its been reliable and I like the look of hidden scale like control surfaces where applicable.
