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

Heres a full size repro, there are some horn shots down the page, thing is with ww11 subjects, its hard to get the horns right, Contact Ceejay, of the Dawn Patrol, he makes things like that for 1/3rd scalers,

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