Hi, I just bought this airplane "Fogo" from here [link]http://hobby-lobby.com/fogo.htm[/link] . I'm kind of new to airplane building. I'm having problems installing the servo. It requires 2 servos for the two ailerons. The receiver/w transmitter I bought has 7 channels in the receiver and 4 channels in the transmitter. In the manuel is says the following.
ch.1 throttle
ch.2 aileron
ch.3 elevator
ch.4 rudder
I know what those are and what they do, but the problem is, in the receiver there is only 1 hole to plug in the servos for ch.2 and I need 2 servo holes in ch.2 for the ailerons.[&o] I don't know what to do since the ailerons are controlled by 2 servos instead of 1 servo. Can someone please help me? I will really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!!

From: gone,
You get this little cable called a "Y harness" it has one plug for the reciever and 2 for the servos.

Possibly... (from the pictures) you need a radio that can mix elevator to aileron... for "Elevons" Then... one plugs in the elevator channel the other plugs in the aileron channel and the mx is turned on at the transmitter.

That plane WILL require elevon mixing. A basic 4-channel radio will not do it, though a Hitec Flash4 or Flash5 will.
One servo plugs into the elevator channel, the other plugs into the aileron channel. When the mixing is activated, the two servos work together to provide both control movements.
A simple y-harness will NOT work for this plane.

Does the book that came with you transmitter show elevon mixing? If not, I believe there is a device you can buy that plugs into the harness to enable mixing.
