Want to combine elevator halves to 1 servo?
I finally decided to go with a 120AX on my Seagull Edge 540, and it has one servo per elevator half. Does anybody know of a way to combine the 2 halves so I can use just one servo? The plane is already built, and I had it retired for about a year when someone was going to buy it but that deal fell through. I would like to be able to get rid of a servo and a matchbox.

I think youd have to make a tray in the fuselage and use a pull pull setup.

Re: Want to combine elevator halves to 1 servo?
forget that lost post I was thinking rudder. I have had two elevators working together but had to make a tray in the fuselage and attached two 2-56 rods together with 3 wheel collarsnear the servo. this I also used in the .46 size matt chapman cap from GP check out their manual online and you will see what im talking about.

Yep you can make a rod that Y's at the end to control both halves. You could also glue a rod between each elevator in a U shape so they are connected.
