depends on your radio... first off...try not to use "Y"s, they are evil... the best way is to plug each servo into their own channel on the Rx and use the ailevator function... as for the aileron, I recommend each servo have their own channel their too and use the "flaperon" function...

| Re: NEED HELP PLEASE!!! I agree. If you have a radio with programming functions. Use the flaperon function and plug the aileron servos into channels 2 and 6 (JR, Airtronics, Hitec). And either write a mix to mix one elevator side to another channel, slaving the other channel. If your radio is not capable of writing mixes, your only other option is a "reversing Y" its simply a y-harness that revereses the direction of one of the servos.. definetly not your best bet, but it will work.

Okay guys. I slaved Channel 6 to 2 for the elevator. That didnt wrk. Then I tried 2-5 and that didnt work. I cannot get thos to work if my life depended on it. I dont know what else to do. Ive read the manual and that didnt help me much either. I just need a little more guidance and then i will be good to go. Thank you for all your help thus far.

Okay guys. I looked and the 7-cap doesnt have the ailevator function. What choices does that leave me with? I will start to program in the flaperon function later this evening. All help and any hints and or suggestion are very much appreciated.
