I am trying to program flaps for an E-Flite Mini Ultra Stick. I have installed the servos, 2 per side, and am wondering what the best way to program is. I am thinking using the outer servos (ailerons) on a Y-harness (limited to number of channels), and then have the both inner servos on their own channel and mixing them. Can someone give me hand?

Thanks!

With a 7 channel Rx, you could mix Ch2/Ch7 for Ailerons and Ch6/Ch5 for Flaps. That leaves Ch1 for Throttle, Ch3 for Elevator, and Ch4 for Rudder.
With a 6 channel Rx, you could put the Ailerons on a Y Harness and mix Ch6/Ch5 for Flaps, using a Programmable Mix, with Ch6 as the Master.

Although I have used Y Harnesses for many years, but I have had problems with them, from time to time. I stopped using a Y Harness when the Matchbox came out. A Matchbox is a much more appropriate choice except in this case, it may add unwanted weight. Channel mixing is the best, however, you would need at least a 7 channel Rx.

I have had to replace Y Harnesses numerous times to resolve problems with one or both servos bouncing or working erratically. Sometimes it depends upon the servos or the Rx battery voltage.
