Guy's I'm sorry to post this here but I need help I'm sure you all can answer. I have a T6XA Futaba radio that I am trying to program dual elevator servo's. ( so as not to use a reversing y-harness ) The manual explains everything except this. I know you guys do this all the time with the larger airplanes. Can someone help me with this for this particular radio.
Thanks

I can think of 2 ways to do this, one costs money the other is free!
You could by a servo matchbox which can be adjusted to keep throws of each servo the same.
The other alternative is that if you have an unused channel on your receiver, say for gear or flaps, you could plug your second servo into that, and mix elevator to gear/flaps.
The advantage to doing it that way is that you can set up the mixing and servo endpoints to exactly match each others movement. Takes some time to get it exactly right though.
With that setup you can also do fun things in the future like mix aileron to differential elevator throw for some interesting 3d flying...

I've tried using separate channels in situations like that. I never could get both throws equal. Just gut up for a $7.50 Reversing Y-Cable. Makes life much easier.

Thanks for the help guys, I did just that, bought a reversing y-harness and solved my headache. Thanks again!
