Why would you need to run seperate channels for elevators? Obviously you would have two elevator servos, but why wouldn't running them off a Y-cable be satisfactory? [/QUOTE]
You can't run dual servos for elevator with a Y-cable unless one servo is setup to run in a different direction. This is possible with re-wiring or a reversing device.
If you run each servo from a separate RX channel and you either have mixing available or "ailevator" function you don't need the reverser. The ideal is the "ailevator" function because then you can set up each servo to its physical neutral, travel extents, and in-the-case-of digital servos the deadpan. You want to do this so you can get each elevator half to operate exactly as the other -- prevents the elevator from acting like an airlon. Some really experienced flyers also like to add some extra functionality like coupling the elevator halves with the airlons, etc.
