More foamy questions, can we have a fixed wing board yet?

[tylorwashere]

I don't like to start a build before I have everything down, and theres a few things concerning radio channels that I'm not sure about. I understand that I'll need some channel mixing, but what I don't get is how you use two servos for the rudder. Wouldn't they both have to go on their own channel, because thats how they plug into the reciever?

So far this is how I understand it:
Esc for the motor goes in channel one for throttle, obviously. And then I get lost. Maybe im just trying to compare it to quads too much, but both ailerons will have to have their own channel in the way I'm looking at it, but that doesn't make sense either. Help?

You will need to use a servo Y connector to run both servos to one channel

Just use one.

Ahh see? There we go

Just use one.

The way it's designed I can't, the control rod would hit the body of the plane before it could do a full throw in the opposite direction

You sure? 2 for the rudder on such a basic plane?

Not on this one.

Yeah, Y connector, just make sure they are not both throwing forward or both throwing backwards.

That's mine, but on mine there is two holes in the fuselage for servos in the back, and there are 4 mounting braket things for servos

Pause it at 1:33 and you can see two in the back

The rudder has 1. the 2 servos you see are for the 2 elevons. Those will each need their own channel.

Ohh
