Default Pull Pull elevator

Hi Chip, I have a Widebody 60 that I am just ready to set up. I want to keep the elevator servo up front for Cog reasons. I tried using the MK bellcrank system but was not impressed by the throw, so I decided to go for either the servos in the tail, or pull pull on elevator. I am wondering if you have ever done pull pull elevators and how you set it up?
Also, do you have a widebody? Could you speak a little about what you think of the plane, trimming, etc. Mine is top hinged and will have a YS 110 and some JR 8411's.
Thanks!
Robert.

Default RE: Pull Pull elevator

Never have used pull pull much myself, and when I had it I didn't care for it much. I would go with 2 small servos in the tail and stay away from the MK system if possible. The 110 should be great and I have never really trimed the one I have, cause I have only flown it 2 times. Seems like a cross bwetween a 3d and pattern plane, in the middle so to speak.

Sorry I am not more help on this one.

What small servos would you use? The only minis I have are 3102's, would they be strong enough at 6v?
Thanks!
Robert.
