How to do a T-tail

[elemental]

Does anyone have a link to a thread that shows how to set up the linkages for a T-tail type vertical stab?Or just any suggestions on how to do it at all, would be much appreciated!

They have the servo in the vertical stabiliser with a short linkage to the elevator, and often a pull-pull system for the rudder with the servo inside the fuselage somewhere, although it can vary with different planes.

i need it for the elevator and i was going to do the servo in the tail method, but it threw my CG of too much.

You could use a control snake which bends through the vert stab. Particularly if you don't have rudder.

Yes. Those sleeved flexible pushrods are awesome. They are on my big nitro planes as well. My favorite method for runs of that type. They survive crash damage better than rods and braces as well.

Can those control rods push as well as they can pull? thanks.

Sure they can, as long as the exposed metal tip is not longer than needed.
