    U-boat Bow & Stern hydroplanes - Control with one channel?

    Hello all,

    The type VIIc U-Boat has Bow & Stern hydroplanes... Can I use one RC channel with a "Y" connector on the receiver to drive two servos? Actually I want to drive an ADC-1 (Depth Controller) to the servo at the bow, and an APC-4 (Pitch Controller) to the servo at the stern. I just want to get all the bugs out of my setup before making the final committment.

    Regards,

    APC-4 was designed from the git-go to be able to "stand alone". In other words, it does what it's supposed to without a signal input. I suggest you connect APC-4 without signal (pull the white wire out of the plug) and then actively control the bow planes/ADC-1 from the TX. It works!
