RE: Programming
I do not know what you mean by 4 air, servo's. With a JR 6 channel radio, the channel order is Throttle, Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Gear, and Flaps. You would use the Flaperon program to mix servos on the Aileron and Flap channels. If you plan to mix two Elevator halves, you could use a Programmable Mixer to mix the Elevator and Gear channels, if you do not have Retracts.
You really need to be more specific as to the type of Plane, where the servos are located, what Receiver you have and what you want to mix.

RE: Programming
It would be helpful if you indicated the type of aircraft you are putting these servos in as Weight may be a factor.
If, for example, you were outfitting a 33% aerobatic model, it is common to have Two servos for each Aileron.
In the case of Two Aileron servos on each Aileron half, you could use a Y harness, between the two servos on each Aileron half, and then connect one Y harness to the Aileron channel and one Y harness to the Flap channel. Next, you would use the Flaperon program, which mixes Aileron and Flap channels. The Primary use of the Flapperon program is make the Aileron halves work together when you move the Aileron stick Right or Left. The Flaperon program also allows you to move the Flap Knob or Switch, and the Ailerons will also Drop Down, together, and act like Flaps. If you do not want the Flap feature, you would disable the Flap Trim or Flap System in the programming.
You could also substitute a JR Matchbox for each Y harness. The Y harness does not allow you to compensate for differences between the the two servos on each Aileron half. If the servos are mismatched too much, they could fight one another and either burn one out or draw excessive current, shortening your flying time between charges. The Matchbox allows you to replace the Y harness and adjust each servo, on each Aileron half, so that the Neutral, Endpoints, and Servo direction are the same.
If you had a 7 channel radio, or higher, you could use Programmable Mixers to allow you to put all four Aileron servos on separate channels an mix them. This allows you to have separate Ailerons and Flaps, Giant Ailerons,, mix Flaps ;and Elevator, Crow, etc. The H9 UltraStick is a perfect example of the neat things you can do with creative mixing.

RE: Programming
I'm putting them on a christen eagle II. I need all of the servos to work together. The last time I tried to mix the channels the Aileron trim only worked the lower servos not the one's I had mixed on the flap channel. There are a lot of smart people out there. Thanks for you help i'll try to mix them again there might be something I did wrong.
