Receiver Technical Information
I want to set up my plane with Dual Receivers. I have two R608FS and I want to use Y-harnesses putting one servo on one lead, and take the one of the two other connectors into each of two receivers. I am doing this as backup in case of failure of either of the receivers. They will both be supplied with separate power sources of course. Is there anything wrong with this idea?
This is definitely NOT something to do. If you do...the timing will either cancel signals to either receivers, or partially cancel it (as in glitching and bad range) or even worse. A configuration like this could result in the Fail Safe failing to function in one or both receivers.
Use of Dual Receivers, whether 72 MHz, 50 MHz or FASST is of course something you can do. And it is done on a regular basis by many top fliers. But you should NEVER use Y harnesses to connect a servo into two receivers. You would want to configure your setup as a left and right half configuration. Also, something to remember is to be sure to set Fail Safe in "both" receivers to move to a 0/0 position to permit operable control surfaces to control attitude of model well enough to land in case either of the receivers were to fail.
