ORIGINAL: HW50

The yellow arrows show the control surfaces I mean. I am sorry for not showing my own plane, since all the surfaces are removed, preparing for glueing the hinges.

I wonder if the arrowed surfaces can be controlled by using a simple Y-harness on one channel on the RX to operate both servos, or if mixing two channels is necessary.

By just looking at the arrangement, I found that mixing two channels is the answer, or perhaps a servo reverser on one of the servos. But again, I wonder.

Thanks,
Helge.
You do realise both surfaces are controlled by one servo? each side? the set up is per wing 3 servos two of them are hooked up with Y leads and the aileron is with an extension lead I used 1 24" extension for the aieleron 1 24" Y for the flaps and one 12" Y for the brakes, the brake uses a T servo arm and a wire off both sides to open the flaps

TAKE CARE with gluing the hinges in... part of my problems with the Y control rod was a sticky hinge.... too much glue and I didnt pick up on the fact until yesterday I spent about an hour with a magnifying glass, some tweezers and a pin cleaning it out to free it what a pain in the ....
