I am putting a plane together and here is the problem I'm having. I have 2 S3010 servo with a spectrum ar600 receiver. I have a two 24 extention for each one and a Y connector going to the reciever. I only have one servo that works. I can switch them around but only the right side will work. What can this possible be? Do I need to go into the setting and change something.

G'day
If you have a Spektrum radio that has mixing, you can put one servo into the normal channel for the aileron, and a second servo into a spare channel (Channel 5, 6, 7 etc) then use mixing to mix the aileron channel signal into the spare channel. But, you do have to use "trim include".
If your radio is a DX7 then there are 6 programable mixes available. Mixes 5 and 6 have "trim include".
Trim Include allows you to trim the aileron channel and the trim is then also applied to the second channel.
If you have a DX5 or DX6, I don't know whether this is possible but it may well be. Have a look in the manual.
Hope this helps a bit.

ok here is what you do
plug one servo into the reciever see if it works, then plug the other servo into the reciever, see if it works.
then plug one extension into a servo and plug the extension into the reciever, see if it works, repete for the other extension
if they both work
plug the y harnes into the reciever then plug the servos into the y harness, if only one works you have a bad y harness. it doesnt matter if you have 3 y harnesses...they are all bad
or just learn to solder and make your own extensions and this wouldnt be a problem.(just google it)

Thanks All,
It appears that 2 of my Y extension and one of the extensions itself was bad. Hmm that was very odd but it working now.
