My Acro Sport had bent pushrods like you are describing so they would clear the bottom of the rear spar. To me the linkage rod off the bellcrank could have been made slightly longer so you would have had a straight pushrod though....

I am not saying that this is the best thing to do, just saying that I have seen that done before. I am not sure if it matters, but I don't think I would bend mine unless it was absolutely necessary. Mark is right, usually this linkage is about 6 inches long on a plans built system.
