Default Scratch build question, first timer....

I have a Pappy deBolt scratch built Interceptor w/ a 101" wingspan and have a question about how many servos I should use for each wing panel. I originaly was going or should say have the wing set up for two servos and I am using Hitec HS-5645 MG through out the whole plane. Should I stick to my original plan of two servos per wing panel or could I get away with just one servo for each aileron? This is my first scratch build of a giant scale of this size and I am not to sure if I need all that authority on those ailerons or not. This plane is going to be a Sunday cruiser and thats about it, maybe some loops and a few rolls, but nothing crazy. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

I tried to upload some pics of the plane but for some reason it keeps coming back as " active server failed " If you want, I have pics of the plane posted in my profile page and you can see it there and tell me what you think.

My opinion is 1 servo per wing panel should be fine.I have a self designed plane larger and heavier than that with no problem at all.

The pictures are to big in size to upload. Had the same problem the other day. Downloaded picture resize for free off the net. Then they uploaded just fine.

Thanks for that P-40- I just went to my photo editor which I knew about but a little unfamiliar with this new vista program still. I got it figured out, I guess I was going to have to figure it out sooner or later and I guess this was the time.
