Brian Sweeting 1 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 If it is not working how did you check the servo? Have you plugged in another servo to the RX and if so does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Berriman Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Have you set up the Tx for two servo control channel 1 and 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Has it previously been working ? Have you made any changes that could have stopped it working ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Watkins Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Left aileron Ch 1 Right aileron Ch 6 Without a Y lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sounds like a dodgy Y lead - I've had a few of those. Dual ailerons would open a whole new world .... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Geezer Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 I have changed the y lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Extension lead between the Y and servo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 If one servo works, the y lead must have power. The fault must therefore be on the left side of the y lead, or the plug/socket of y lead to servo, or the left servo. This set up does not care if 2 channels are allocated, with a y lead the servos will still work. If you have checked all the components, and they work, look very closely at the plug socket on the left side. Either a badly made bit, or even the plug inserted the wrong way round, ie signal not feeding signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It could be one servo has the lead plugged in wrong way around or the pins damaged or not inserted correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Have you tried the left aileron servo via the Y lead & Rx with the right servo disconnected ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
