Presto chango, two servos rotate opposite to each other on the same channel.
I've been in the hobby for almost 20 years and never knew that! Its truly amazing what you learn on this website. I too would like to thank you for that one!

Now there an idea you should put in the Construction Hints & Tips Forem!

Gary, I guess it's because we sometimes do things sooooo many times that we don't think it's anything special.

Till someone asks the question.

Wouldn't you want to use a V-tail adapter so that you could use them as ailerons as well as elevators?

Yep, your absolutely correct! You know, that why I started the thread about inventive tools that you've come up with. So many times we come up with a great idea when we're stuck somewhere in a build, but we think, this is just too easy, someone must have thought of this before, so we don't even think to pass the idea on. Then someone will ask the question and you say, well, this is what I did to solve that problem and the person says wow what a great idea, I would have never thought of that!

Its this very thing that makes this such a great website! I learn something new every day! Thanks again!

servos

If you do use two different make of servo you should make sure they are very close to the same torque and speed.
