Honestly, you've lost me. On the PPM/PCM 14MZ if you plugged 6 servos
in and they were all assigned to aileron the servos plugged into
channels 1, 2, 3 would act together, and the servos plugged into
channels 4,5,6 would act together. Acting together here means with
little or not noticeable latency.<br>
<br>
The pre 2.4 14MZ grouped channels into 4 groups of three channels. The
2.4 14MZ makes three groups of 4 channels. It is built into the radio.
Plugging a servo into channel one and telling the radio that is aileron
and then plugging another servo in to channel 12 and telling the radio
that this is also aileron will result in a potential lag for the last
servo compared to the first servo. The radio is not going to set up
some sort of Master-slave servo/channel mix.<br>
<br>
Again, channels 1,2,3,4 are in one group. <br>
Channels 5,6,7,8 are in a second group<br>
Channels 9,10,11,12 are in a third group.<br>
<br>
The signal will get to the servos within each of those three groups at
essentially the same time. WHat is plugged into those channels and what
function you have assigned those channels is irrelevant from the
standpoint of the radio.<br>
<br>
So say you had 4 aileron servos, 2 per wing. You plug the left wing
servo into channels 1 and 9. You plug the right wing's servos into
channel 2 and 10. The two servos on either aileron will not be in synch
as far as time that they receive a signal so there may be a potential
latency issue. In other words, the servos may "fight" each other.<br>
<br>
Channel one is not going to "say" to channel 9 "hey I am in charge and
take your lead from me" as far as the timing of the receipt of the
signal to move. They will act together in the sense that they will move
in response to the aileron command and in the same direction.<br>

if I plug say 6 ailerons in to channels 1-6 like the original Futaba MZ
web main page shows, we would have to compensate somehow with End Point
Adjustment and Servo Speed on two? That doesn't seem right. It would
seem more logical that in a non-grouped setting--but effectively
grouped--like ailerons, twin elevator halves, or flaps, you would want
them in the 1-4, 5-8, etc. groups--but if you are specifically
'telling' those servos "Pal, you are tied to this guy and he's the
boss--you do what he does."...wouldn't the 'grouping' function operate
that way?<br>
