MK Dual Elavator Bellcrank & Pushrod?

[ORLANDO FRETS]

I believe Central states anything over 16" or 18" requires a center support.
I have used a balsa support with an opening for the rod to pass thru. The balsa support then has sponge rubber glued to it closing the opening sufficient to let the rod pass thru.

I’ve mounted the bellcrank and will use Central’s carbon fiber push rod.  The pushrod length from servo to crank is about 28”.  
 
Is it necessary to install a support of the rod  halfway down the fuselage to prevent flexing.  And if so does anyone have a simple way of doing this inside a fiberglass fuselage?
 
TIA
Jerry
