Mooseflier,
The planes show a "Y" for the elevator controls, so a single servo should be all it needs. The plans are a litte old school with the binding and soldering of the control rods. The cabines show the same method. I thought of building CF cabines and struts for mine and utilizing a a socket and slot arrangement instead. They would be installed with screws and nuts to the wings and permanently mounted to the fusalage. As I see it, it would be about the same weight, be more aerodynamic, and something else to putz with.

To Minnflyer,
G20 huh, I'm going to give this some serious thought. I'm at a point that I need to make a decision before I proceed with the fusalage any further.
