I'm building an Aerofoam L-39 105mm EDF and there's a problem with the included gear sequencer. Banana Hobby has been very good about the issue and is sending an updated unit as soon as it's available. I'm thinking of replacing the AG63Pro steering gyro and gear/sequence units with the Xicoy LG-15. Gear controllers are new territory for me and I have a few questions.

1- For the steering in and out, the manual says you "can use a Y-lead from the rudder channel" (I don't have an extra Rx channel for a separate steering channel). My rudder signal goes from the Futaba Rx to the Demon Cortex gyro via S-BUS and then a lead comes out of the gyro to the rudder. If I Y the rudder lead between the gyro and rudder and send that signal to the LG-15 steering in, will that work, or will the two gyro's fight each other?

2- Does a mating MPX connector come with the unit to attach my power supply to?

3- I have an external BEC with 6 volts going to the Rx and 7.4 or 8.4 volts to the LG-15. Will this work okay?

Thank, Rich
