Ray Allen Servo question

I wrote:

In this case it would be a simple matter to rotate the
clevis fittings on the pushrod 90 deg out from each other
if the servo was on its side.

I've looked at mine and can see that this won't work if the rod
needs to pivot at the clevis end - like most installations
probably do. Duh. If I get a change I'll pull one apart for you.

Dave,

Thank your or your answers.
I just realized I used wrong terms : it's not the clevis itself I want to
turn, but actually the attaching piece at the end of the control screw ON
THE SERVO.
Of course the control pushrod must travel in a vertical plane, so if I turn
the servo on it's side, the attaching piece on the servo must be turned
accordingly to remain in the vertical plane.

Thanks

That's the way I understood it, the error in the response
was mine. I'll open one up tomorrow night if I get a
chance. Have you talked to anyone at Ray Allen (or MAC or
whoever makes 'em now)? You might also as Van's, I know they
use 'em and might now something about the inner workings.
