How do I make a y connector?
I need a y connector for my aileron servos and I live 150 miles from a hobby shop that has them. Can I make one? I need them to operate opposite directions. Can anybody tell me how to properly hook it up or send me to a website where there is information to do this? I did a small search but did not find what I was looking for. Thanks a lot for any help you guys can give.

What kind of radio. You can splice two aileron extentions, but if it were me, for the $5 you would spend on one and the $.37 to ship it to you, it would be well worth buying one. Do you have a computer radio? Plug a servo into ch 1 and another into ch 6 and let the transmitter couple them.

I should have posted I have a futaba radio system. I was figuring if I had to I could just put the like colors together and solder them, and then just put linkage on the other side of the output wheel. I would like to have the servos run opposite however, so I think??????? that if I would run red to black, black to red and white to white I would get this accomplished? I have just purchased a T6XAS futaba computer radio. My first one, and didn't even think about mixing channels. Guess I am just used to doing it the older.. ah make that pre computer days.

To make a Y simply connect all the same color together. |

Red on White will toast receiver channels.
You can make all the Y's you want by splicing multiple wires off of a single connector, but be warned, you lose signal quality and this can make the servo's behave badly. It's EXTRMELY important that you solder whenever possible rather than crimp with Y connectors cleaner connection. And if your servo's don't have a reversing switch on them you can use a 'dumb cable' to Y like you want. |

Would be easier to make the radio do it. Then if the surfaces don't move exactly the same, you can fix that electronicly.
