Before computer radios fine tuning a new model did involve switches and knobs but they were not on the radio they were on the drills, saws, soldering irons, and coffee pots.
Trust me, I remember the hours spent trimming my Mach 1 and Miss Norway. All due respect, the sequences back then were far less demanding then they are today. A single servo aileron setup was actually easier to set throws and differential then a dual setup with a Y connector. Reason being that no two servos are identical. I also have fond memories of the good old days but that dosent mean I won't take advantage of any and all new tech.
