servos in wing - howto
So I'm putting together a new plane that will have 2 servos per wing half - I've never had this before, so I'm a little confused as to what to use to connect them. In the past, my wings that had 2 servos (full size wing) I just used an Amped Y harness which would reverse one servo - how is it done when the 2 servos must operate in the same direction? And what's the best product to use?
Thx

Be careful if you are using digital servos. When two servos are driving one aileron, if they don't center exactly the same they will fight each other centering, with the result being a dead battery. Futaba and JR make a product to gang servos together to help eliminate this.

Be advised, it has been reported in this forum that the HS-605s do not center very well -- would think that would be very important if you were hooking them to the same surface.
