2 Elevator Servos?

[Wes]

Hmm...if the issue is in the servos, then it would apply if you used a y-connector, too.  I used a servo-reversing, adjustable y-connector once.  It failed, and I almost lost the plane.  Never again on the basis of having one more thing to go wrong.

It seems that there is no clear cut consensus.  You'll have to make a choice and take your chances.

Regards, &c...Wes

In my opinion you would be much better off using a bell crank or pull pull or something .  just my opinion.
