Default Reciever and battery redundancy

Is there a problem with creating a redundant system in the following way?

One switch battery combo into one receiver the other in the other receiver. Now simply connect both switches with a modified servo extension. I've read that this will provide full control in the event of a battery or switch failure and half of the controls if one receiver fails. I am using two 5-cell battery packs.

Thanks for the help.

Default RE: Reciever and battery redundancy

That will work if a battery pack fails open, but if it fails shorted, then wires will fry and both receivers will quit.
