Default Dual aileron servos not acting right

I have an airplane that I have installed two servos for the ailerons using a y connector. The radio is a Futaba Attack AM gold stickered radio. It has always worked fine on operationg single servos per channel. Now, on this plane I have installed it in, the servos act like they are real real lazy, not wanting to deflect, and sometimes deflecting real weak. One may move fine, and the other one may be lazy and vice versa. When they are lazy, I can move the ailerons real easy with my hand like they almost are not hooked up. Also, the servos to the ailerons constantly buzz. Now, they do work in the proper direction, just not proper. My receiver battery shows I have 5.4 volts.

Djo the servos work fine if each one is plugged directly into the reciever; chances are they will. If so it means that you have an inferior y connector, either high contact resistance in the connectors or to small a gauge wire (causing an IR drop in the positive and negative leads when the servos draw high current). If you have a setup that permits it, try powering each servo with its own battery. If it works well then, the extension is bad.

I replaced the cheapazz hobbico harness with one I made out of futaba 3' servo extensions. Works like a charm now.

This is not a sales plug, but I have started purchasing all my wiring and harness items from Radical RC. The quality is good and the price is low!
