I want the 2 elevator servos on my model to operate in opposite directions 
using a Y lead.

Is it just a matter of reversing the + and - wires on one side of the Y 
lead, or is it more than that?

I know I can use ailevator setting on my TX, but it's only a 7 channel RX

Thanks in advance

No it's not that simple, but you can get reversing Y leads from your local 
model shop.

Hi Trefor,
Am I missing something?
Simply use the opposite arm on your elevator servos.
keep it mechanical- much simpler & probably safer.

The 2 servos are mounted in the fuse, one each side, about 6" from the 
elevators and the centre of the servos is slightly above the elevators.

Using the opposite arm will mean the servo rod will be about 1" above the 
tailplane at the servo end, so the rod will have to be angled downwards, 
pass under the tailplane and conect to the elevator arm. The rod on the 
other side will, of course be approx. horizontal, as the hole in the servo 
arm is in the same horizontal plane as the hole in the elevator arm.

I'm a bit rusty on geometry, but I suspect this would cause the 2 elevators 
to have different throws.(as well as looking a bit messy)

Maybe I'll just take an 8 channel servo out of another plane, and use the 
aliavator function

Thanks anyway

Unless you have a very basic radio you can use one of the programmable 
mixes. Set elevator (usually channel 2) as the master and then set the slave 
to any spare receiver channel. You will probably have to reverse the servo 
direction on one of the channels. Make sure you disable the switch to avoid 
accidentally switching off half your elevator in flight!

Hi Trefor,
Am I missing something?
Simply use the opposite arm on your elevator servos.
keep it mechanical- much simpler & probably safer.

The 2 servos are mounted in the fuse, one each side, about 6" from the 
elevators and the centre of the servos is slightly above the elevators.

Using the opposite arm will mean the servo rod will be about 1" above the 
tailplane at the servo end, so the rod will have to be angled downwards, 
pass under the tailplane and conect to the elevator arm. The rod on the 
other side will, of course be approx. horizontal, as the hole in the servo 
arm is in the same horizontal plane as the hole in the elevator arm.

I'm a bit rusty on geometry, but I suspect this would cause the 2 elevators 
to have different throws.(as well as looking a bit messy)

Maybe I'll just take an 8 channel servo out of another plane, and use the 
aliavator function

Thanks anyway

Trefor

Unless you have a very basic radio you can use one of the programmable 
mixes. Set elevator (usually channel 2) as the master and then set the slave 
to any spare receiver channel. You will probably have to reverse the servo 
direction on one of the channels. Make sure you disable the switch to avoid 
accidentally switching off half your elevator in flight!

Thanks for advice everyone.

It seems there are two ways to achieve this, either:-

1.  Use a reversing harness which include an electronic gizmo to reverse the 
servo. Usually includes a pot to fine tune the elevator. Costs about £10
2. Use the aliavator function and put the second servo on channel 8. Or as 
mentioned by MH, by channel mixing.

I decided on the aliavator option as I had an 8 ch rx in another plane which 
I swapped for the 7 ch one I had for this plane. Incidentally, the plane is 
a "baby" ucando .46, with OS 70 FS

I also found that using a standard Y harness with a futaba servo on one side 
and a sanwa servo on the other side also worked, but with limited success. 
Although they were reversed directions as required, one moved faster and 
further than the other.

Thanks again

Hi Trefor,
Am I missing something?
Simply use the opposite arm on your elevator servos.
keep it mechanical- much simpler & probably safer.

The 2 servos are mounted in the fuse, one each side, about 6" from the 
elevators and the centre of the servos is slightly above the elevators.

Using the opposite arm will mean the servo rod will be about 1" above the 
tailplane at the servo end, so the rod will have to be angled downwards, 
pass under the tailplane and conect to the elevator arm. The rod on the 
other side will, of course be approx. horizontal, as the hole in the servo 
arm is in the same horizontal plane as the hole in the elevator arm.

I'm a bit rusty on geometry, but I suspect this would cause the 2 elevators 
to have different throws.(as well as looking a bit messy)

Maybe I'll just take an 8 channel servo out of another plane, and use the 
aliavator function

Thanks anyway

Trefor

Unless you have a very basic radio you can use one of the programmable 
mixes. Set elevator (usually channel 2) as the master and then set the slave 
to any spare receiver channel. You will probably have to reverse the servo 
direction on one of the channels. Make sure you disable the switch to avoid 
accidentally switching off half your elevator in flight!

Thanks for advice everyone.

It seems there are two ways to achieve this, either:-

1.  Use a reversing harness which include an electronic gizmo to reverse the 
servo. Usually includes a pot to fine tune the elevator. Costs about £10
2. Use the aliavator function and put the second servo on channel 8. Or as 
mentioned by MH, by channel mixing.

I decided on the aliavator option as I had an 8 ch rx in another plane which 
I swapped for the 7 ch one I had for this plane. Incidentally, the plane is 
a "baby" ucando .46, with OS 70 FS

I also found that using a standard Y harness with a futaba servo on one side 
and a sanwa servo on the other side also worked, but with limited success. 
Although they were reversed directions as required, one moved faster and 
further than the other.

Thanks again

No it's not that simple, but you can get reversing Y leads from your local 
model shop.
