Is there a Frsky (or other) device that will allow using analog servos off of a FrSky SBUS & CPPM Decoder

I have a plane that has 4 servos in the wing, all on their own channel. All of the servos (7) in the plane are Hitec HS-322HD Standard Heavy Duty Karbonite Gear Servos. I'm not about to run 7 cables into the wing. And the cost to replace the 4 servos in the wing is way to much plus having to redo their mounting.
I can make up a connector that carries power plus 4 signal wires. https://alofthobbies.com/6-pin-wing-connector.html
But I was looking for another approach. Iv'e spent maybe a hour looking thru Aloft, but I have not seen anything. Am I missing something or is my only affordable solution the 6 Pin Wing Connector.

Thanks

I think you should be able to get a 4 channel decoder, and a channel changer, and be able to get all 4 channels on only 3 wires... or 1 servo lead. I may be wrong, but I thought thats how it worked...
 
We do not recommend running analog servos on the Sbus line, all deciders that I know of will not adjust the framerate to a level that is friendly to analog servos. They may work initially, but seems analogs will always fail in a short period of time if feed the 9ms frame rate that Sbus works off of.

Can you share more details about the plane? Maybe a picture or two and we should be able to make a suggestion.

Another thing to consider will be the amp load if this is a bigger plane.
