Default RE: Range issue, could use some help

Sean, You said:
ORIGINAL: seanreit

No match boxes. Nine channels used

throttle
aileron
elevator with a Y (8611's one reversed)
Rudder
Gear (regular robart mechanical) with servo
Flap servo 1 8411
Brakes (clippard momentary push button type)
Flap servo 2 (I think on this channel, again 8411
Steering servo aux 4.

No match box was necessary, although my last isobar had two.

How did you REVERSE the 8611? I have a buddy who builds a lot of "turn-key" IMAC airplanes for guys and he told me that those Y-harnesses that can reverse a servo can cause range problems. He won't install them any more. I had a serious lock-out in the air with my little Viggen. Luckily I was able to get it back and go through it. I removed the Y-harness and re-programmed one Hitec servo on one flap to be reversed. I also changed the RX AND module...........the problem went away! I know that I changed a lot, to say that it was the harness, but that's my $.02 worth.

Good luck,

John
