Default 7CAP mixing with trim???

Hi,

I have a 7 CAP with 3151`s and need to mix for dual elevator servos. The problem is that I can`t find a ready mix that does this and if I use a P-MIX, I end up with trim in only one side. Also, if I use a y-harness I end up with one elevator up and the other one down. Using the other side of the arm is not an option. Can I reverse the direction of one servo by reversing any cables on the y-harness?

Please help, I`m ready to take off except for this problem

Hi colmo,

What you will need to do is purchase a Dual Servo reverser such as the SR10 FUTM4150, or you could purchase an MSA10 FUTM4155. The MSA10 will allow you to adjust end points and travel of both servos.

I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support team at 217-398-8970 opt 2, or via fax at 217-398-7721.

Sincerely,

Will the MSA-10 work with any servo? Some I've talked to believe it will only work with digital servos. I need to connect two S3004's to it.
