Default F20 and dual aileron servos?

I am rebuilding a DC F20 and am just starting the wing. I was thinking of using two aileron servos for more precise aileron control,but since the ailerons are already pretty short, I am not sure it is worth it. My old F20 has a single servo. If two servos was suggested, would a hitec hs81 be ok, or should I stick with a pair of standard 3004's? Also, if I go the dual servo route, should I place each servo in the middle of each aileron? On my Dago, they are near the end nearest the fuse, which to me doesn't give as much leverage compared to being in the middle. thanks.

I've had mine for a few years and only a single servo. Honestly, I don't think you need them. If it were me and I wanted to, I'd get a pair of basic $15 Hitecs.

Do you have retracts in it?

ive had my dc f-20 for 3 years now. i have a single hitec hs77 low profile wing servo in the stock location. turns are very precise and it centers accurately. dont think you need two.

yes, BD pneumatics. Sounds like the standard one servo approach will be sufficient. The only other reason maybe to have two would be for flaperons, but with my old f20, i can slow her down enough as it is.

The single servo has been OK in my F-20 for about three years now.

FBD.
