Default Twin stick conversion

I have an old twin stick kit and I will be adding a third engine to the nose. This is the second one that I am planning to build. the first one was a ball until I sold it.

My question is how to hook three servos to one port in the receiver?

Thanks for your input.

I once needed a three way 'Y' for a Royal p-38 two rudder and one nosewheel servos. It was a simple matter to solder one up to custom lengths out of aileron extensions. Its just like a normal 'y' with an extra female lead. Simply solder the same three colors together from all four leads and shrink wrap.

you could buy two y connectors and hook one y connector into the other and plug that one into the rx. that way you have 3 plugs for your servos

Have done three of these conversions. My suggestion for add the extra engine to the nose beyond above ideas...(I used the two y cord idea myself). Add wing plates or sometimes called wing dams to the wing tips for additional lift. The wing loading is getting high on this. I eventually added 8" additional wing span.
The over lapping props will make a "Whapping" sound that is very unique. Be very careful starting this monster. There is an aweful lot of spinning knife edges near your fingers.!!
Good luck

Go to rcwarbirds.com and the twins forum and you will find a link on doing this type of conversion.
Good Luck
