A standard "Y" cord does not reverse the servos. You do not WANT to reverse the servos for ailerons. In the pic below, you can see that all 3 servos are going the same way to achieve the desired results.
Thanks Minnflyer.
Yep you are right, of course, about my slightly less than accurate comment about the Y harness reversing the aileron servos in this context.
I remember when I was writing it, that I didn't want to make my response too complicated for the questioner, and wanted to let him know that, when a reverser is needed, as in, for instance, dual elevator servos (because the servos themselves are mirrored and therefore are already reversing, and needed reversing back to unison again) it is available. (See? I can't say it simply!!!)
Actually, it's a debatable point anyway, as the geometry of mirrored servers should be considered so that their movement not only have the same end points, but also move in exactly the same way throughout the range, but that debate is definitely the subject of another thread!!
<argh!>
Anyway, thanks for the support. I was beginning to think I was going mad!
