How to Connect Two Ailerons to One Channel Using a Y-Harness
Q: My RC plane has two ailerons, but the Reflex system has only one channel for connection. Can I use a Y-harness to connect both ailerons?
A: Yes, you can use a Y-harness to connect both ailerons to a single channel on the Reflex system. Here’s how to do it:
-
Gather Tools and Materials:
- Y-harness (Y-cable)
- Aileron servos (two)
- Reflex system
- Receiver
-
Connect the Aileron Servos:
- Plug each aileron servo into the ends of the Y-harness. Ensure that the connectors are securely attached.
-
Connect the Y-Harness to the Reflex System:
- Take the combined end of the Y-harness and plug it into the aileron channel (usually CH1) on the Reflex system or receiver.
-
Check Servo Direction:
- Turn on your transmitter and receiver.
- Move the aileron control stick left and right and observe the ailerons.
- Ensure that both ailerons move in the correct directions (one up and one down when the stick is moved). If they move in the same direction, you may need to reverse the direction of one servo using a servo reverser or by adjusting the servo horn position.
-
Test the Setup:
- Perform a range check and a control surface check to ensure that the ailerons respond correctly to your inputs.
- Verify that there is no binding or interference in the movement of the ailerons.
Using a Y-harness is a simple and effective way to connect two ailerons to one channel, ensuring proper control and functionality of your RC plane’s ailerons.
