I'm building a giant ucan du and it has two servos for the elevators. I plan on using a Expert reversing Y harness for those servos. Can anyone tell me if these work ok and if they are relieable. Thanks. Ken

no experience with that reverser.

A thought: you might want to consider just putting the push rod on the opposite side of the servo wheel instead of using a reverser (course that depends on the angle though). Or use different brand of servo--hitec turns opposite to futaba.

Yup.. works great. I use on on my last Razzle (Sold). Just plugged into your elevator slot of your rx. Simple.

I use them Ken, they work fine.

Ken E · 01-05-2006, 11:50 PM

Thanks everyone for your quick replys, now I feel better knowing that they are ok. Ken

I have used several and they work fine.Buy one with a pot adjustment for fine tuning centre to both leads.
I presume you dont have a computer radio?

Ken E · 01-06-2006, 09:45 AM

Yes I have a computer radio, a futaba 8uhp, but I'm not aware of it having two channels that you can use for elevators.

ronm · 01-06-2006, 09:48 AM

Yes Ken, you can use 2 channels with that radio. However, using the reverser is a simple option that works well, and you don't have to re-program your radio.

Why spend $20 or $30,add weight and one more thing to go wrong?
