I have an airtronics VG 600 radio and I am having trouble with the aileron settings. I checked the airtronics websight but I still cant figure out how to set the radio to work my ailerons with individual servos for each side. I already have the servos in place and I have a a 5 channel Hitec receiver that seems to work great except I cant get my ailerons to work on both sides. It only works on the side that I have the servo pushed into the 1 spot on the receiver. I have the other side pushed into the 5 spot but that only moves when I hit the flap switch on my radio.

I thought there was a way to do this without using a "Y" harness but im not really sure

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need a six channel reciever for what you want to accomplish. To work the Ailerons/Flaperons, plug the right wing servo into channel 1 and the left into channel 6.

The Airtronics VG600 is a non-computer radio. This means that you can't plug in the aileron servos into 2 separate channels in the receiver. Being able to do this is a function of a computer radio only. In order for you to use 2 aileron servos with this radio to by the use of a Y-harness. Plug the Y-harness into channel 2 on the receiver and then plug each servo into each side of the Y-harness (or servo extensions if needed). I know this isn't what you asked about, but this is the only way to do it with this radio.

Thank you very much . That is exactly what I was looking to find out. I guess I need a new computer radio and a 6 ch receiver then, although a "y" harness would be a little less expensive.....

If it were me I would just use a Y-harness. I have several non-computer radios that I use all the time. Since you already have the radio I'd just use it.

Must've been a tough learning curve being taught to fly that way.

dpsa98, for four channel airplanes, the sequence goes,

Channel 1 - Ailerons
Channel 2 - Elevator
Channel 3 - Throttle
Channel 4 - Rudder

I learned that it makes it a lot easier to hook up the servos in the plane if you remember the sequence...especially when you had to try three times to get it right.

IBrakeforNobody,
Actually, that sequence is incorrect for the Airtronics VG600. For this radio the correct sequence is:

Channel 1 - Elevator
Channel 2 - Aileron
Channel 3 - Throttle
Channel 4 - Rudder

Wow, I feel stupid. Skipped over the Airtronics VG600 part. [&o]

Then why did dpsa say THIS in his opening post?
"I have a a 5 channel Hitec receiver that seems to work great except I cant get my ailerons to work on both sides. It only works on the side that I have the servo pushed into the 1 spot on the receiver."
I'm just wondering.

Regardless if it's a Hitech or Airtronics receiver the channel assignments are the same, as they are dictated by the transmitter. From what he said, only one servo worked because only one was actually plugged into the channel 2 slot. But if both servos are plugged into channel 2 using a Y-harness they should both work no problem.

I need a prop adapter for a 3.17mm motor shaft. The motor is at the back of the plane "pushing" I've seen some graupner and aeronaut props with 8mm and 6mm bores that I would like but they recommend a "spinner" adapter. That is for a front mounted engine I would assume and too compicated and heavier than what I want. I'm looking for a simple conversion type adapter that I would mount on the back of the plane. Also I had a question about the thread direction. I would assume that a front mounted adapter should have an opposite thread direction from a rear mounted one. Is that an issue? So do any of you guys know a good place to buy what I'm looking for?

I don't see any reason to reverse the threads as long as you tighten everything properly.

Contact any of the spinner manufacturers for more details and part numbers. We can provide names if needed.

I am looking for a spinner for a 3.8 mm shaft for a hobbyking mini breeze. lost one now going to try nut locking goo, If you find anything please let me knnow

bought a 1306 3100kv cw motor with spinner but noew need ad reverse prop for that motot 4540 (plane is a pusher...) does thread lock red work well enough to keep it frmo coming loose for existing motor ccw

The Y harness comes in two different modes. Same direction and opposite directions. The main reason to use two channels is so you can dial in differential. Aileron moves more down than up. Or to use ailerons as flaps.

Some prefer to have more up than down as it reduces drag, in theory anyway. You can get that result by moving the control horn further from the hinge line from what I've been told, haven't tried it yet though
