Use a Y lead to plug both servos into the elevator channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucksboy Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 Geezer, 1. select your model 2. select system (the key/spanner symbol bottom left on the screen) 3. Select channel 4. select ch 5 or ch 6. 5. Hit the ‘Sel’ button, bottom right on the screen. 6. on page one you can choose whatever function you want, ele 2 I suggest. i hope this is clear, if not I’ll add pictures.

Philip Lewis 3 Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 Yes, in dual elevator servo's on separate channels one of them will always need to be reversed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 Will elevator trim work on both servos ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely not relevant, but on my old JR set which has 8* programmable mixes, you have to set up the 2nd ele. on one of the lower (i.e. 4 to 8 ) mixes in order for the master elevator trim to control both servos. It took me several years of ownership to find that out... This may also be the case on an older tx like the Aurora. * I think... 🤨 Edited July 16, 2024 by Mike T stupid forum software turns 8 followed by ) into an emoji!!!

Bucksboy Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 Geezer, Getting there then? If one moves the opposite way, reverse one. From the home screen with the correct model selected, touch the big plane icon in the bottom left corner. The next screen should show a load of options under the heading 'model' Top left is 'reverse', touch that. The screen then lists all your servos, touch 'Ele 2' and then 'reverse' or 'normal', confirm that you are happy and that should be it. Exit the screen by touching the little door icon in the top right hand corner of the screen. Again, if this doesn't work, come back to me, it's a really easy system to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucksboy Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 The first picture shows the 'model' sub screen. The second the 'reverse' screen. That is if the pictures come out in the order I've added them.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucksboy Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 It's a great system, I'm always surprised that it wasn't more popular. I rarely resort to the manual as I can normally work it out. Feel free to ask again if you get stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that depends on the position of the servo and output arm........ @Diamond Geezeras suggested, try it, and reverse movement if necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if they are installed mirror imaged, if so they will always need one reversed in the same way that ailerons mirror imaged can always use a Y lead because one doesn't need to be reversed.

GrumpyGnome Posted July 17, 2024 Share Posted July 17, 2024 Yes, that is absolutely true..... in some installations one will definitely need reversing..... or use the other side of the servo arm 🙂 Like many instances, this cat can be skinned in many ways.
