Yea, the programming mix is a pain. I am Using a 7px and I am able to adjust the horns individually but have almost zero idea what I'm doing. Lots of reading

don't you got room for the adjustable servo horn? Makes life much easier...

Try the mtxl linkage next time. Its super easy. Well, easier anyways?
What I did was run both servos on their own channels?? played around until with a full turn left or right there was no binding on the link between the horns?? now I never even look at it????
I used a Y harness adjusted the linkage for no buzzing and voila all good for years??

If both servos were lined up perfect that would work, but they are not.
Do you run a futaba? If so, I could use some hwlp
Yes that's where I was? the center was not the same on both?? so I adjusted each one till I was 99% same the tweaked the end points on both so there was no binding??

I unfortunately haven't done mixing on my futaba, just my gt3c.... I assume it's a bit different, as Im not running flysky programming in my radio. But I have this that may be helpful
Mode 2 to master and slave a channel. Set steering as master, and pick whatever open channel you have to slave to steering. There is independent EPA, and trim functions. Should fix you up with a bit of fiddling.

So I have one steering servo in channel 1, second steering servo in channel 3. Would the slave servo be the second steering servo in channel 3, or is the throttle servo the slave

Channel 3 is the slave of the steering servo

I have tried numerous times to adjust just the one servo to match the other and it's a no go. They either won't move at all, or both at the same time.
Maybe you should get a set of the mtxl servo horns ?? the one is adjustable ??

Nah, I'll buy a servo programmer first. But not wanting to do either as I can do it from my radio
I do remember it took quite a bit of head scratching? I'm sure you'll come right??

Did you try adjusting EPA and trims, outside of the master/slave setting?

No idea. I messed with it for 2 hours almost with no luck. I read about 30 pages in the manual and still am not any further at understanding.
I ended up saying screw it, and took the easy way out. I adjusted the sub trims on them individually to get them lined up.

Yeah that's what I was getting at lol. Not being familiar with that TX is a real handicap.
Glad you got it sorted
