Default 40% setup

I recently acquired a 40% plane, and the previous owner was using dual receivers. I've got a A9 and I'm wondering on the best way to go with this plane. It has 2 servos on each aileron (4 total), 1 on each elevator (2 total) , and 3 on the rudder. All of these servo's are JR 8411's, although I may swap them out with something else. I set up a 35% plane using a SmartFly power board some time ago, but I'm wondering if the 2 rx approach is better. Ive never done a plane with dual rx's.What are the advantages / disadvantages?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Default RE: 40% setup

Dual RX's is not recommended with our system as we have seen in some cases where they will not range check as well as a single RX. Definately use dual batteries and a power distribution system like a smart fly or power box is not a bad idea to spead the load.

Check out this video of team pilot Brandon Chitty's set up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3QFv...mRM94i9KuVAug=
