Default Hog Bipe tail setup

Recently bought a HB without electronics and engine and no plans or instruction book. Presently set up with blue NyRods as push rods on rudder and elevator that I want to replace with push rods or something. Will mean having to re-cover at least bottom of fuse but that's no big thing.
Can someone please post pics of their radio compartment showing how they set it up or give me some suggestions?
Thanks.
Ray

Hi rayb,

I originally flew mine with the SIG pushrods. The plane should have the outer pushrod casing still installed. The casing is normally glued into place during construction. If this is the case, you should not have to open up the fuse. The original pushrods are white plastic with metal rods threaded into the plastic. These change length with temperature. After a few seasons I got fed up with continually having to retrim every flight, so I replaced them with long 4-40 rods in the original outer casing. They work very well. They do add a bit of weight in the aft end but not much - just be aware of it. I had the CG at the forwardmost position anyway, so it made the plane a touch more responsive. I've attached some photos of my setup which will hopefully clarify things if needed.

Cheers!

Thanks Jollidude. That's what I was looking for.
