Finishing up my Island models 1/4 Scale Ka3 and wondering how people are controlling their ruddervators?

Pushrods
Snakes
Closed loop

Maybe wing servo's "in" the tails

What's the best option?

Snakes in a Plane!

Bill, I am using snakes but they are a bit sloppy.  Mind you that is the 1/3 scale one

Not a great fan of snakes unless they can be properly supported along their length, even then the trim can vary with temperature. Seriously considering putting 2 wing servo's in the tails for more direct control

Go for it, Fred said the model could do with a bit more weight for penetration.
