are you crossing your push rods to put a forced - always there bend in the push rod? I do do that and 1 point along the pushrod works for me on the tiny trainer.
the TT has fairly big tail surfaces, so a bit of airflow upset from the servos being there should be ok, I would be most worried about any impact to your CG by putting that weight that far back.
Thanks, JasonK!
Yes, I did cross the pushrod wires per the instructions.
You're right about the CG - I'll have to play with the battery location, and maybe even add some weight in the nose.
I'm sorry I didn't take some photos while the servos were in the recommended location to show the way the pushrod was bowing. The bowing was on the "push" towards the tail, opposite the curvature from the crossovers. This caused the right rudder deflection to almost nil. Left rudder was OK, when the servo pulled.
The stress was so great that it actually broke the glue bond between the servo and the side of the fuselage.
