My Feedback: (1)

I would like to run two elevator servos on a plane with "split" elevators.
I will run them on seperate channels...2 & 8.
The problem is the placement of the two servos will not mirror one another from one side of the fuse to the other. This will cause the geometry to be different resulting in different throws.
I can set the end points to match the total throws but this then throws off the control deflection speed one side to the other.
Can I use exponential on channel 8 alone to match the speeds?
Is there any other electronic alternative?
Thanks!

Hi JLK,

You'll see by a search on this subject in this forum and the General radio forum, that there is a lag time that only the very observant can see between channels split this far apart. This has been discussed many times.

The best recommendation is to use a Y harness with both elevators in one channel to reduce the amount of lag time if you are flying jets. Otherwise, in most scenarios the difference will not be extremely noticeable.

While Expo will help to some degree, it will only mask this and not cure it.

The 12Z and 14MZ offer grouping of channels which counteracts this.

I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
