Default has anyone built a cmp spitfire 50?

hi. i was wondering if anyone has built one of these. im at the point where im putting in the servos and rods. i have two questions. first, the rod setup includes a carbon rod thats hollow. you glue the ends on, and slide a steel rod in the end, when you have the right length, you tighten the two set screws in the ends. my question is, are the rods that go to the rear supposed to cross like the ones im putting in, and i had to cut both to fit. they were to long, is that normal, having to modify the rods? second question, i have retracts. do i need one or two servos for that? the "instructions" dont show. to me it looks like only one, but i have an opening in each wing right at the rods for the landing gear. thanks for any advice given.
