Have tried all of the above methods and all have advantages anbd disadvantages. My new design will have dual elevator servos in the stab. I will use a pair the mini superfast, lightweight JR digitals and couple them with 2-56 rods. The length of pushrods will be short<br>

<div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I have a new secret weapon I’m building. Not having built and airplane in many years I started looking at what type of elev push rod system to use. I’ve looked at the Deps, two servos in the stab, pull pull cables and a single push rod with a Y.</SPAN></FONT></div>

<div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The pull pull seems to be the lightest and possibly the easiest way to go. The twin servo’s also seems easy but adds another servo. I don’t have the small servo’s required so that’s a consideration as well. The deps seems to be a good way but possibly the hardest of all to install. The old tried and trued Y pushrod is what I’ve used for years and have always used a bearing tube where it exits the fuse. This is a composite fuse already painted and I’d rather not screw it up by trying to put a former for the rear of the pushrod Like Dave has in the Focus.</SPAN></FONT></div>

<div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I also am debating using the Tetra push rods for the ailerons even though they’re 2/56 push rods. We used to use them on rocket ships of the past and I was wondering if they would be fine on this aircraft because we fly slower now.</SPAN></FONT></div>
