I believe the problem is a bit more than just the 'y' itself.
When the 6v is fresh, its peak voltage can be a bit higher than 6v, causing problems w/the servo.
The simple solution is to install a 6v regulator between the switch and reciever. (if you mount between switch and batt. it will always drain your bat after sitting awhile - it draws a very small amount of curent to operate)
A guy at my field had a H9 1.5 Cessna 182, and was at his wits end. He replaced servos, he re-routed the Rx, he was bumbed out, - the damn flaps would go crazy, not center, one would go to full deflection. he wanted to fly w/ flaps but knew he coulnt with that kind of problem. I ran home, grabed a spare regulator - told him to try this - vwalla! problem solved! He was so appreciative he let me take a few laps with the 182! It always feels good to help someone who really really really needed it!
Hope this helps
