I have recently purchased an JR 11 X and reading through the manual it says that if you set the wing type to 4 ailerons you can use chanels 2 & 7 for the right wing servos
& 5 & 8 for the left wing servos.
I currently have a AW 36% Extra 300 which has two servos per wing and that would be fine to set up what I have now.

Buuuut I was wondering, what if I want to go to a 40% plane with three servos per wing how would I set it up for that?

You could put the 3rd servo in an unused channel and then use a mix with aileron as master and the 3rd channel as slave, making sure to include trim with the mix.

You would need to do that on both sides so would need to spare channels and 2 mixes.

The problem you are going to face with multiple servos on one control surface is making sure that they are all matched and are not fighting each other, which could result in twisted ailerons and/or excessive current draw.

In the past they used devices like the JR matchbox to do multiple servos.

These days i think the JR 12X has this servo grouping and matching built in so i would look at upgrading if you need that feature.

Thanks for the reply, CustomPC
The 11X has the capability to match the servos on chanels 2 & 7 and 5 & 8 so they don't bind
And there are 3 mixes with a programable curv so I geuss I would have to use those mixes to match the third servo.

Thanks again for the reply, I was just brain-storming how I would do that if I went to a larger plane.

There is a work around for the 6 aileron servos on the 12X and the 11X does have the same capability on the 4 servo deal, but I'm not sure if the trick for the 12X would work. Look up Reza or Troy over on FG for the 12X programming, it's already listed somewhere (IIRC) in the radio forum....
