Sorry, Iguess I should have worded it differently. How would I go about setting it up into my radio. I know what it is physically doing at the plane. How do Icombat it? are there any downsides to having this mix in your setup?
Why WOULD you want to set it up?
Is the plane doing something that you need to correct?
Your RV-9 shouldn't need it, as it is not a 3D plane nor prone to adverse yaw.
Well OPJOSE, Inever said I wanted to put aileron mix in, Iwas just simply inquiring about it.
I have flown the plane with the y connector hooked up, and it flew great. I changed to the separate channel separate servo setup and it flew exactly the same, as I figured it would, but I am keeping this setup, a because there is one less connection to potentially fail, a marginally small amount of weight savings, and just because I like the fact that I can adjust each servo separately. I was also talking with a local pilot and he said, while it is extremely rare,if one of the receivers aileron channels died mid flight, at least i'd still have the other one to land the plane with, not the case if using a y-conn.I'm not sure why people are making this sound like its such an advanced setup. The only real reason that I can see to only use 1 channel and a y-conn for ailerons is if you don't have the extra channel in your receiver.
Anyway, thanks again to eveyone for their help with this matter, and I do appreciate it. My plane will be staying right where it is with separate channels for ailerons.
P.S. If anyone is looking for a 3 inch y-connector, I might know where you can get one real cheap.
