I have the GP UCANDO 46 and a Hitec Eclipse Radio. I,m trying to figure out how to mix the split elevators so they move in the same direction.

Use a Y-servo harness - BUT with a reverser feature - it is an electronic component added that reverses and times the signal to both servos - no having to reverse one, etc. there are many on the market by the radio people and the aftermarket as well. l got one from Expert Electronics - only about $14 - first experience in this area only a month ago - and it works extremely well

Hello Skyblue,

I have same radio and GP UCANDO 60. The solution which worked for me is to use premix 3, which is activated by gear-up switch. I made channel 2 the master and channel 6 the slave, which permits independent adjustment of elevator halves so they move equally.

Hope this is helpful.

Good Flying!

Thanks guys for your answers. I went with Chepenik suggestion. It worked well.

I have the 40 and 60 UCD, the 60 is a much better airframe, but the 40 is good IMHO. Take extreem care in getting your mechanical setup correct, right out of the box. Each elevator half must throw identical with the other, or the plane will not fly nearly as well as it can. Mine can do great elevators and high alpha without a lot of wagging. At first the 40 was a dog in my view, until I looked at the elevator travel after reading a related article on same. It took me several days to get things working correctly mechanically after fighting ATV and sub trim. After getting it right mechanically, it flys as intended. With much care, the 60 flys very well out of the box. Several guys in the club have the same setups, but pay no attention to the details, correct CG, ballance, throws, etc. and wonder why mine flys so much better. They assume I am just a better pilot, not!!. ENJOY

The mixes in a Hitec Eclipse don't include the trim function. You can create the mix to move both elevator servos with the elevator stick, but the trim tab will only move the servo that's plugged into the elevator channel.

Not a big problem, but after you test fly the plane it may take you a few trial and error linkage adjustments to get the elevator halves synchronized at neutral.

The reversing Y-harness will allow the trim tab to work both servos.
