This will work for dual elevator servos. never use a Y, you will never get them to track the same.

You can use a free mix to set up the twin elevator servos, or any other two-servo combination by simply doing a pmix of the primary channel to the secondary channel at 100% with trim on and link on, offset off and switch assignment NULL so that the mix is always active. Here is an example of mixing 2 to 7:
A. Standard mix from 2 to 7 to work twin elevators:

[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Press Mode (twice if needed) to open Advanced Menu[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Dial up or down to a free Programmable Mix and press Dial to select[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Cursor Down twice and turn dial LEFT to activate mix[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Cursor Down and turn Dial to select channel 2 (elevator)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Cursor Down and turn Dial to select channel 7 (Aux1)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Cursor Down and turn Dial left to turn Link ON[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Cursor Down and turn Dial left to turn Trim ON[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Cursor Down twice and confirm switch position is NULL[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Cursor Down, pull positive elevator, and turn Dial Left to -100%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Push negative elevator, and turn Dial Left to -100%[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Press End twice to close Menu[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
B. Turn off default control of channel 7 in Aux-Ch screen so VRC does not affect the second elevator servo.
[TABLE]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Press Mode Button (twice if needed) to open Basic menu[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Turn Dial up or down and Press to select Aux Ch[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Press Cursor Twice and then turn Dial left until reads CH7 NULL[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]___[/TD]
[TD]Press End twice to close Menu[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

Guys you are correct, a matchbox or a smart fly equalizer will do the job as well. These devises will allow you to reverse one of the servos if needed and will allow adjustments of center and end points of both servos. Lots of ways to get the job done.
