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
