Hitec laser 6 setup problem

You might try a (Y) harness Only one connection to your #1 aileron and with the Y they are split to your two servo's. They are then on the same circuit but respond to the signals. Doc Ferguson

Flaperons become challenging, then.

Look for a `flaperon' mix and turn that on. Make sure the V-tail and elevon (delta wing) mixes are off.

The ailerons should be on channel 1 and either channel 5 or 6. (I don't know about your specific radio.)

It sounds like you might also have aileron->rudder mixing enabled. This is OK for upright flying, but you might want to turn it off if it is on, as it can be confusing.

Yes, but they're not really that useful unless you've got a glider (and in that case, spoilerons are better than flaperons.)

The advice is certainly valid, though maybe not that useful. A bigger danger is that the servos may both go in the same direction with a Y-harness, in which case a servo would have to be reversed or a linkage re-done to reverse it -- which is probably more trouble than it's worth. You also lose the ability to do aileron differential with a Y-harness, which can be useful.

Many thanks ALL... Im very new to actually flying a plane, Ive built them and made the usual mistake :)

"Oh...that looks nice ill fly that one..what else do I need...:)"

The information provided by all was excellemnt and very useful..i had no idea there existed a y-harness..lol...this explains alot and would indeed solve my issues. I have a green sleeves electric sailplane (600 series motor) for the record, with laser 6 transmitter, lipo batteries (which are 2SP1

1800(milli)amp, which Im wondering if I need the receiver battery also? may have to see if the life of the lipo last ok and make that the only battery?)

anyway..many thanks...

It's important to have the right speed controller for that battery and the right charger, other than that it should work. If you don't have the "cut-off votage" for that battery you could ruin it on your first flight. What speed controller do you have? mk

not sure what ESC it is...I know its a 25A but i do recall some saftey feature which does cut off the voltage...thanks for the heads up...ill look into that ..if not ill purchase ANOTHER device...lol..as well as th eY-leads to splits the aileron servos.

My project cost so far:

lipo's =A330 charger =A330 plane =A380 tranmitter / Reciever =A3109 FSM =A3120 ESC =A3 30 solder iron =A310 solder =A31.40 gold plugs for joining ESC + Battery etc =A35

AND I STILL HAVENT FLOWN IT YET!!!!!
