Default Pull pull or push pull

I will be biulding my four star soon and I was wondering what would make pull-pull better than push pull. So could someone give me some reasons to get pull pull or not to get it.
Thanks
Chad

I wouldn't bother with it on a 4*, just use the hardware that comes with the kit (or ARF).

Pull/pull is often lighter than a control rod; it can actually give you more precise control, because the servo is always pulling the control surface, pushing on it under flight loads can cause a slight bend in a pushrod; and pull/pull is just cool.

Hope that helps.

I'm using the stock hardware on my 4* 60 and there have been no problems... My rudder has been enlarged by about 1.5" and a counterbalance added, and I have had no problem.....
I't will KE the whole length of the field

But a Pull Pull is cool...
a push pull would add a bit of weight I should think

ok, I think i will end up upgrading to pull pull later. Can someone show me some pics of the pull pull systems while they are set up on a plane?

Here is a link to Alan's R/C page http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~atong/ There is A LOT of good info there. There are several articles on Pull-Pull just a little ways down.

Here is a few of pics of my pull pull set up on my Ultra Stick Lite. It may not help since is it not inside the fuse, but then it might just be what you are looking for.
