The problem was the two separate "feeds" into the hub. I plugged the Cortex directly to the <" and the SBE out to the rest of the plane. So we have a good solution to use the Cortex in an all sbus installation. Although not new to this stuff, I'm still new to sbus, so there's much to learn. I appreciate this forum and what it still has to offer between all silly stuff.
Thanks again!
UPDATE!
I finally got around to trying to finish up the install, but although it initially looked like it worked, I never had the wings plugged in until today. And although the elevator and rudder were fine, both flaps and rt. aileron did not. The SBE needs all corresponding signal leads for channels being used, and since 1,2 & 4 were plugged into the gyro, they functioned properly, but channels 5,6 & 7 do not, hence no function from the flaps or rt. aileron. It does not look like there is a "work-around" for SBUS out with the Cortex. I feel I have exhausted all possibilities to make this work with what's available. I'll be going with a true SBUS in/out solution for my serial installations. I really thought I had it figured out!!
