Audacity Models Pantera 50 - Tiger 50 > tail rotor pushrod length

hi...i can't seem to get the desired length of 725mm for the pushrod. the longest i can get it with the ball link ends out as far as it can go is about 717mm-718mm.
i haven't installed the rudder servo to test it..just going by the manual. am i missing something or should i use a longer push rod?
other than that, the build went very well.

I suppose I could have made a mistake in the manual. Here's what I suggest. Once you've tensioned the tail rotor drive belt, snap the link on the tail control pitch fork (make sure it's 90 degrees to the tail boom). Then check to see where the other end lines up. Maybe all you need to do is reverse the servo so the servo output shaft is either forward or backwards.
