I'm just going with the old reliable JR Matchbox. Since retrofitting a number of airframes, I don't wish to reconfiguire all the servos and deal w/the geometry issues,,,et.al...nobody said switching would be easy.
Anyone familiar with mixing engines on a twin.....thnx...Bo

You weren't going to Mix the engines with the Rudder, to assist in steering the aircraft?

RE: DX8 flap and elevator....
My goal is to have the two engines on seperate channels so I can match engine RPM to a small degree...maybe use the pot on right top of the TX that seems to be a proportional knob....Bo

RE: DX8 flap and elevator....
I did not read this entire thread, however. I had the same problem and here are your options. I will start with the easiest way.
1. BUY a REVERSED servo. They are available, go to Hitec or whoever your preferred servo provider is and you will see they sell reversed servos. This will allow you to use the "Y" connector.
2. Disassemble the servo and perform the reverse yourself. Not too complicated but can be tedious and you void the warranty as soon as you break the case of the servo.
3. Use another channel and slave it to the elevator. The problem with this is if you are using an airplane with numerous functions you may not have the extra channel available.
NOTE: when using a Y connector ensure that you do not use the amplified Y. It will interfere with Spektrum and JR radios. Buy the Expert Y with the adjustable pot. After the elevators are connected you might find that they do not move assymetrical to each other. On my aircraft this was not a problem and I got them as close as possible.
Hope this helps you.
