Default Linkage layout/concealing linkages.

Hey all

Im ready to put the control system into my 32.75" Hellcat and was hoping for some advice on which hardware to use for the linkages.
Seeing as im going for the full scale look I dont want any visible control parts if possible.

Ive picked up some JR ES316 servos which are tiny, not tiny enough though to allow a "servo in wing" type setup for the ailerons though so ive decided to use pushrods.
To avoid an extreme bend due to the narrow width of the wing I can only get about a 45 degree angle of pull onto the aileron, can that be made to work with a ball joint or something or will it cause problems?

Ive also wondering about the elevator setup.
The two elevators are linked together by a piece of 0.47 wire in this model, can I attach a control horn to this wire somehow or should I go for a y-cable setup?

I can post some pics soon if that is to unclear, my camera is out of action at present though. [:@]

Cheers
Ash
