I have been wondering about this every since I saw it. I would like too know if anyone can tell me - whats the pros and cons of the following. This is just out of curiosity sake.

I hate it when I don't know something - it eats me alive!!![:@]

1. On most planes, which I have seen, the two elevator halves gets connected via a "rod" - which you glue onto/into the one and also the other. This then holds it together (and it becomes one) and only one of the elevator halves has a horn mounted to it, which then is connected to the servo with a pushrod. The servo moves and the both elevator halves moves - plain and simple.

2. The other I have now seen in a plane is where the two elevator halves are NOT connected too each other and both has a horn mounted onto them. You then have two pushrods going up into the plane and then is joined too one single which then gets mounted too the servo.

Now I would like too know - is option 2 better or doesn't it really matter. Why do people/manufacturers have these two ways in doing it? Is the one better than the other?

I think here in the Beginner forum is another thread which they are discussing the technique used in option 2.

Like I said - this is purely out of curiosity and something I don't understand.
