Default Ultra Stick 60 pushrods?

The pushrod tubes in my ultra stick 60 don't exit the fuse at the appropriate angles to connect to the control horns. Anyone else had this issue and an easy way to resolve it?

I've read a lot of post but I haven't seen any comments on a similar issue.

Thanks.

I had a US60 for over 3 years. I cut and mounted the rudder and elevator servo's in the rear of the plane. I heard that the plane would come out nose heavy and require a lot of weight in the tail. By mounting the servo's in the tail, I didn't have to add any weight anywhere.
I flew it with a Magnum 91fs.
I loved the plane and would still have it if it weren't for my dumb thumbs. I had a lot of flights on it. The plane was my favorite.
I just used one of the installed push rod tubes to run the antenna wire. Left the other in place.
Good Luck with your US60

Exactly what Hondaguy said! I had the same plane, mounted the servos just fore of the tail, used a Magnum .91FS for power. Lost mine the same way thru dumb thumbs. Made a pretty impressive crater diving inverted full throttle.
I miss that plane. Strapped a wireless video cam on top looking back at one point in its career.

Thanks folks. I put the servos in the back as suggested and glad I did because it saved needing tail weight.
