I have built the old fogey and am finishing up the servo and control portion once I order some appropriately sized pushrods and hopefully find some cocktail straws to direct the pushrod on its circuitous route to the aft end of the plane. I am wondering why the pushrods have to take the long route to the control surfaces? Wouldn't it be better to angle the servo tray so the pushrods go more directly to the control surfaces? I know the pushrod will need to be redirected near the aft area to be aligned with the movement of the control surfaces but why not angle the servo tray to avoid less bending of the pushrod?
I have already installed the servo tray and it is in the right place to catch the power pod. I am tempted though is to build up a slope on top of the servo tray so the servo throw is more inline with a straight shot toward the control surfaces.
