Default Y-lead

Hi everyone

Here I am again with one of my dumb questions.

Do you get different kinds of Y-leads? The reason I'm asking this is because when my Stick was built I had a Y-lead for my ailerons right, when I built my Edge I installed the same Y-lead for the ailerons and it works perfect. Then...when my plane was standing at the hobby shop for some work too be done - they took out that Y-lead and replaced it. The reason which was given too me was that they don't trust that Y-lead and doesn't know it (even though they installed it originally in my Stick). On my arrival at home, when testing everything, I noticed that the ailerons will move in the same direction when input from the Tx was given. Example: When you give right aileron input the right aileron must go up and the left go down - but with the "new" y-lead both will go down or up at the same time. So after seeing this I installed the "old" y-lead and it worked fine again. Flew it like that.

Now my question is do you get y-leads for different applications or are they all standard? The one I originally installed had like a screw where the leads meet and the "new" one doesn't. Does it need too be programmed into your Tx or how does this then work?
