Default RE: reversing y harness?

I tryed a reversing Y a few years back and had nothing but problems getting the two surfaces to travel the same distance. If possible mix the two servos together with your radio. Much cleaner instalation. Good Luck, Dave
Yeah and I found as many of our club members have, that because the small reverses use their own on board crystal occillators, these will drift with the temperature, requiring frequent adjustments.

In turn the adjustments wear out the tiny circuit board mounted potentiometers used, causing the reversers to be unreliable.

Fortunately programmable digital servos can easily be reversed and offer a good alternative, but they should be purchased in matched pairs.
