Elevator control: Pull-pull vs push rod

[Keith Black]

I'm in the process of building a new Aries and am trying to decide whether to use pull-pull or a push-rod on the elevator. I'd like to hear some opinions on which is the best way to go. I plan to go with pull-pull on the rudder, but I'm undecided on the elevator.

The Aries requires no formers so there would be no problem with space in installing a pull-pull system for the elevator, however I know there are different theories as to which is the best approach. If you have an opinion please explain why you feel the way you do (weight, control accuracy, reliability, etc.).

For those push-rod proponents I'd be very interested in hearing your opinion on the best approach to installing a push rod system. For example using a "Y" push rod with bushings, using an bell crank, etc. 

I look forward to hearing everyone's opinion.

Thanks,
Keith Black
