I am hooking up a model with a servo in each wing to run the ailerons
. I have run the splitter to each servo and plugged the splitter end into the receiver. I have deleted the model I had programmed previously( this is in a futaba 6channel computer tx) . When I move the aileron stick side to side both ailerons move together up and down. What am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance!

Actually, you've got them setup like flaps. The easiest fix is to swing the pushrod to the opposite side on one of the servos, so it is a mirror image of the opposite wing. Since both servos rotate in the same direction when using a "Y"-splitter, you need to use opposing sides of the servos to achieve reversed travel on your ailerons.

Either the servos are set up identically (same direction instead of opposite), one of your servos is reversed, or you bought a reversing Y-harness. Are your ailerons set up mirror-style?

It sounds like your linkage needs to be flipped on one servo. They are both turning the same way, so if you move your linkage on one of them to the other side of the servo, it will push instead of pull the aileron.
