Rudder pull pull setup options for my Midwest Extra 300s
You guys were really helpful in my thread last month on hardware, so I'll ask another question. I see several options for setting up the pull pull on rudders for big planes. There is the direct to servo route using metal servo arms (which I have- single not double), there is the bellcrank setup where the whole system is build with perfect geometry and then connected to the servo seperately, and there is the double servo arm standard setup. Even though it's more complex, the bellcrank setup looks good since it gives you some options to get the max torque from the servo by moving the connector around, but maybe it's not necessary on a 50cc plane? I have 275 oz in of torque, so will that be an issue at all? Are the dual servo arms needed instead of the single metal ones? From what I see, ball links are the way to go, unless you guys have another suggestion?

It does seem to be the best one from a mechanical standpoint. With ball links, I imagine the slop is pretty minimal. I'm just wondering if it's overkill on a 50cc plane?
