Dean, thanks for the message! I will take a look.

So Kenn,
What I did tell you, your question will be answered by the readers.

In RCM & E we could read the red squared passage from Ed about the pushrods. In this case the rudder but I think the same about the elevator because it pushes the elevator to give any “up” action.
In an emergency situation a bending pushrod is end of the planes live!

For the elevator I have already make the pushrod and did show a drawing in the past.
It is easy to mount the pushrod connected with the elevator before mounting the stab on the fuselage.

Material the same as the fuse, balsa and already “doped” two times.
When somebody thinks, it looks like a little "overdone"! I must say you are right. But I like this kind of constructions and the change of vibrations is less then round or square cross sections (with a vertical mounted motor!). Vibrations gives play in the bearing of the linking with the lever of the elevator. The bigger vertical height is also to withstand G forces in this directions (loops).
When the stab is mounted I will block the elevator and measure the length variations of the pushrod near the servo position under influence of humidity and temperature.
