Thanks Bruce, the y harness reverser is the way go and I'm using a 7CAP just for the record.

I just broke out the soldering iron and screwdriver and reversed the servo internally. Works great. There's a thread on how to do that to just about any brand servo on here somewhere

I was reading over the "answers" and there's too many![sm=confused.gif] The 7CAP has 3 free mixes. Pick one. U can just slave any free channel to channel 2, and if it's backwards, there's a reversing menu for all the channels... the only problem is that the 7CAP can only trim channel 2. If u use the trim, the slaved servo won't move and ur gonna have to go to the "subtrim" menu to make both elevator halves the same.

No need for a reversing y harness.

The "Y" reversers are not as bad as some people say. I used them in two different planes for 5 years. They are a royal pain to set up as the reversed servo travel is not always symetrical with the non-reversed servo. Having a fully adjustable horn is a necessity.

With that said, I have only had to adjust the reverser during temp extremes. ie..summer/winter. I have finally switched to the Futaba 9C that does have twin-elevator servo capability. I'm sure that sells a lot of 9Cs that would have otherwise been 7C sales.

While the Y reverser is not ideal, it will work. Kinda like a nylon MA prop.
