Since this bird has duel servos on elev and flaps, I am going to get servo reversing Y harnesses, Sound ok? Also are Ailerons, Elevators, Flaps and gear normally on Y harnesses since they operate in unison? Seems logical to me. I have an airtronics RDS8000 I am rigging up. My LHS opens at 6, was hoping to get in there and get everything I need minus the motor today, Maybe get her in the air this weekend. If theres anything Im missing please let me know. Again, thank you for your words of wisdom.

Thanks again!!! Pete
Y harnesses and Reversing Y harnesses are the easiest way to do it and plenty for a plane like that. Some of the super aerobatic planes can benefit from mixing seperate channels but a warbird is a warbird.
In fact I have a reversing Y harness on my Showtime 90s elevator servos and works like a charm.
Flaps can use several methods, reversing servo on one side, reversing Y harness, install one servo backwards, let your radio mix it.
Hope that helps.
I would love to see a picture of that plane when you get her done.
