Hello there, question, when a plane has a lot of yaw, i forget, how you couple the rudder and ailerons. Please help

Not with a "Y" harness, for certain. Either with computer mixing on the transmitter (rudder slaved to ailerons) or a servo mixer added to the two servos on the plane. Or, the old fashioned way, using your Mk I Thumbs and adding stick as necessary.

I assume you mean "opposite yaw" in turns. Use your left thumb and learn to fly the rudder. You'll be a better pilot for it.

Charlie and Dr1 are absolutely correct. Learn to fly the sticks and coordinate your rudder with your ailerons. Otherwise you have to use computer radio to mix them in, but it has to be mixed in as a percentage, like 30% rudder to aileron. This means that the rudder only moves 30% as far as the ailerons. Using a Y-harness like you suggested would give you a 1 to 1 mix. And 1 to 1 mix of rudder and aileron results in a real nice snap roll, which can be fun if you are doing advanced aerobatics. But no fun in a Nexstar.

Anyway, since you are just learning to fly it would help you the best to learn to use the good ole Mark One thumb. Learning rudder now will serve you better down the road in your flying career more than just about anything else.

ok thanks. I am not really a new pilot as i have been flying my dad's planes for years, i just wanted a trusty, slow plane to have some fun on the weekends between races.

Thanks,

Ryan
