That being said, you could use 1'' arms if you want IMAC rates, or 1-1/4''
I agree with this. I was faced with the same decision and went with the pull-pull. It would have been nice in my case to get more weight in the tail but I really think a one servo push pull on a large rudder like this would be too much.
