Default RV4 60 servos...

It seems that the only way to connect the push rods to the elevator and rudder servos is to mount them backwards as compared to the pictures in the instruction manual. Any body else run into this or am I missing something?!? [8D]

I didn't have my manual handy to look at but all 3 of my servos are installed facing forward. (The servo arm at the top) Hope this helps.

Mount the elevator servo as the manual shows. If you reverse the rudder servo the wires rub on the wing tube. I mounted the rudder servo like the elevator and extended the pushrod. You will need to purchase short 4-40 pushrod and assemble like the elevator rod. This has worked very well for me.

Thanx for the idea for extending the push rod. [8D]
