HenryL Is the rudder servo and nosewheel steering servo Y-harnessed together and plugged into your receiver's Rudder channel? Or are you running them independently through the box?Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

thanks youw
well there are two rudder leads one from the back of the plane and one from the front, there is no blue box just leads
aelerons flaps all have two lead y connectors
there is a landing gear lead triple plugs ,,,,i plugged that in to the gear channel , two are for the main gear imagine one is for the nose wheel , but where to hook up that lead
also in the front of the airplane there are two leads ,,,landing gear and rudder there is a y connector for them ,,, in the build video he explains everything but can't really see
where to hook it up
I will try hooking that y connector to the rudder channel and see what happens thanks again

Well some progress.... now the gear works well including the nosewheel , now is steerable on the rudder channel but the rudder does not work when connected to the y connector.
testing the rudder servo itself with servo tester and plugged into the rudder channel yes that works ,,, still scratching my head on that one...probably flyable without the rudder ....but also probably not a great idea

end of story,,,,,used several y connectors as suggested ,,when connected neither nose wheel or rudder worked, kept trying different y connectors connecting as suggested and finally it worked guess some incompatibility with certain connectors even though they fit
so yes now my nose wheel and rudder work together ,, thanks for the help
still can't fly the bird however as one of the elevator servos died .
motionrc is sending a replacement so hopefully sometime this week can get it in the air

I think the F5 is most likely going to be my next purchase. Such an awesome jet & with the new inrunner it should be even better.

The new F-5 arrived at my doorstep the other day. It looks great! I will start the assembly process this weekend. Random question. Has anyone here attempted to change or upgrade the elevator servos with a different brand servo? Or have you all found the stock servos are good to go? I haven’t had a single problem with any servos in my other Freewing jets. I was just considering the potential advantages to a higher end servo on the full flying stabilizers.
Thanks!

Never had a problem with the F-5's elevator servos.

The new HP version with the 3658-1857kV inrunner motor makes this jet a real hot rod. Landings are an absolute walk in the park. Can’t wait to put more flights on the F-5.
