Bob is use a Spektrum 7channel radio also. My trouble was that the servos worked in reverse one side elev up other side down. The reverser is a Y so no need for two Y's. Hope this helps you out. I also know that the guys that have similar setups on there planes use the reverser also. It is fast, easy, and cheap. If you do need to adjust it some it only takes a phillips and a sec. or two. Turn it one way or another if your close i guess. I have not had to adjust on them any. IF i need some adjusting I do that with the linkage. Mine go up the same and down the same. Have them on an Eratix, A 100 size Frenzy and a Sundowner Formula 1 80" the Sundowner only has a little throw as it is for speed. But the Eratix and Frenzy I have all I can get on High Rates. The Frenzy will go just about 90% up and down. Good luck but for the price you should try it. I also have some planes on a Futaba 6X and they are pretty good radios for what they do. And that is the radio I was using when I needed to use a reverser and they are so easy I use them with the Spektrum also. Takes a genuis to figure out all the mixes as stuff to make things work right lol. I tried not using them and just using my TX but I even reading step by step could not get them right. The reverser did and no problems. I have like yourself not been flying but just a tad over two yrs. and also want things right as Rmeke says the righter your plane the easier to fly. OR SO THEY SAY lol.
