Mark, that is exactly what I suggested ( and Barry!) as I would have thought there must be enough leeway to arrange them as such.

Maybe space is very tight and the reversal job is done now anyway.

Thanks Bunker,

Yes I was looking at this one and could see the answer straight away as you did likewise...far easier than having to re-wire anything !!

Not quite sure what sort of mixing is required on this one otherwise I would have done it off one servo (bit like aileron servos really)...but I don't think that was the case here

Nice to see us great minds thinking alike !!!

Regards.....Mark.

Hi All
The reason for the servo reverse is to save having to buy a second decoder setup for my F14 set.
On the boat I am building at the moment it requires two separate functions to control the fire monitors, I am going to couple all three monitors together on one function.
The manufacturer supplies all the mounting boards for the servos used in this operation and they are 'tight' to say the least, so reorientating the servo was not an option, I just wouldn't be able to get the mechanism through the access hole.
Hope this explains the reason I couldn't use your suggested methods

Interesting stuff though. Don't forget as well that one servo can be used to drive a linkage that would give you two opposing movements via a simple lever arrangement, check out the attachment.

You'll have to post us a picture so that we can see how the set up looks when you have put it together.

Glad you got sorted anyway.

It's a bit late now but I contacted a 'local' model shop and they came up with this
http://www.servoshop.co.uk/index.php...1044&area=ACCS
It works a dream, and it should also work if you are into miniature boats using a stripped down servo for motor control and drive, with one of these you should be able to get a really small twin screw model to work.
By the way you will be hard pushed to find cheaper servos than on this site, I got four sub min servos for less than £20, great for getting in tight spaces.
