This what you need? Most model shops sell kits for this, but its easy enough to make your own from Fishing trace.

Hi Bob, thanks for the drawing but I want to use 4 control horns.One each side of the rudder on top of elevater.Then one each side of rudder under elevater. How would I connect 4 traces to the servo?

You'd be better off using 2 elevator servos, and controlling each elevator from one servo

No, you need a servo for each side if you go the pull-pull route.
