I now, don't see any reason why that would be needed. As long as the SmartFly is configured to correctly drive each servo and provide the desired servo travel it seems the best way to connect the Cortex would be to simply connect the Cortex between the SmartFly unit and the servos without making any other changes.
Wayne,

To confirm your last paragraph, I'm using a SmartFly EQ-10 with the Cortex and all is working fine. The Cortex is connected between the SmartFly and the surfaces as if the SmartFly was the RX. No changes to the SmartFly configuration were required, a simple plug and play of the Cortex.
