Danham,
the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask. So let's see if I can clear up the servo issue here. Look at the attached diagram to visualize what I'm describing. When you hook up 2 servos to a Y-harness BOTH servos move in the same direction when you move your stick. If you look at both servos sitting side by side the control arms will move the same direction. But in the configuration in the picture with the control rods on the outside of the servos, when you move the stick one side will move "up" while the other side "moves down", but in reality they are both moving the same direction (which means the control horn on both servos is moving clockwise).

So let's look at an aileron throw here. Let's say we want to do right aileron with the setup in the picture. When we move the stick right both control horns move clockwise. The right servo pushes "down" on the control rod which raises the right aileron, while the left servo pulls "up" on the control rod which pulls the left aileron down.

Try benching the setup to see what's going on. Use two servos side by side on the bench with a Y-harness to see how they move in this configuration.

Hope this helps
