Seems like they would come up with a better work around for this than buy a more expensive radio. This was the second time I had applied dual elevator servos but this was on a competition plane so It was bugging me what was wrong. Took me some time to figure it out since the endpoints were right. I also made sure servo arms and linkage were the same length etc...
Anyway, a new radio is in the budget but the equalizer or matchbox will do for now.
