Is it possible to use two different types of servos on the same receiver?
I have my grandfathers Prism 7x and it came with a receiver but i could only find one servo... i am thinking of ordering new servos to it buuuuut... theres lots of problems like its 72 mhz, i have found no plausible way to bind it with anyother reciever other than the one it came with and... yeah any feedback would be great

3-wire servos are universal. You only need identical servos for symmetrical controls like ailerons.
Servos do not bind, only receivers bind.

Alright thanks, I know were and what the servo's plug into but would it be possible to use one servo for the 2 ailerons? like just have 2 rods on each end of the servo-control horn going to the ailerons? Is that the preferred method for small planes?
Thanks

You can use a single servo with a double end or round horn that you can attach a servo rod to each side. As 1 side goes up, the other side goes down. It's possible but awkward to do that on the Cub due to the way the wing mounts. I have a number of small planes set up this way. Take a look at post #2 pictures 8, 9, 12 of this build of a flat foamy. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=959721You can use a Y-harness to energize 2 separate servos from the same plug-in. The servos must be 'mirror images' (bottom-to-bottom, or top-to-top) so as they are energized from the same source they move opposite directions. Easiest method for the Cub. Or you can use 2 separate servos and 2 separate plug-ins. This has the most flexibility but is the most complicated. Your TX and RX have to allow for this. |
