Default pull-pull setup for pattern

There is a ton of crap out there regarding the setup of a pull-pull rudder system. The best setups I have seen to date have been in planes at pattern contests, so I want to ask you guys how to do it.

I want a setup that remains tight throughout the whole range of motion - none of this Ackerman business. I know it can be done as I've seen it.

So what do I need, and what are some pointers? Do the wires have to be parallel, or can they be crossed? Do I need identically sized servo and control horns? Should I use aftermarket rudder horns? Should there be any offset in the control horns, or perfectly aligned with servo pivot and hinge line?

This is going on my Sebart Wind 110 and I want to do it right. Thanks!
