Does this make the thought process any easier?? That picture and a 1000 words.
It has been mentioned before but if you buy a match box it can open up a whole new world for setting up a plane with a lower end TX or even a higher end TX when you run out of open slots in your RX. With your radio and a match box you could run two elevator servos with just using ch 2 and two aileron servos with just using ch 1.
I use a match box on a 30% Extra using two rudder servos in a push pull set up. I can center the servos so they don't fight each other.
take a look at the pic with the two servo, take one and have the output shaft towards the front of the plane, and the other have the output shaft towards tthe tail, then you can use a reaglor y harness, just make sure you are using a matched set of servos
Nope, I understand what you are trying to say and how you came to that conclusion but it won't work. If you flipped one servo around they'll both still be rotating the same direction and since they are on opposite sides of the fuselage they'll end up pushing the elevators in opposite directions. Not only that, let's say it did work, then you'd still have one long pushrod and one short one which would alter the geometry slightly and create unequal movement. The only way to do it is to reverse one servo. That can be with a reversing Y, a match-box or slaving a separate channel to the elevator in the radio.
