Using one ch for aileron servos as opposed to using two
I plan on taking an old model out of storage and putting it back into service. It has one servo per aileron but uses just the lead from ch.1 which is split to power both servos, and this system has worked without a problem. Is there any significant advantage in having a dedicated ch for each servo e.g. ( Flaperon) over the present arrangement.

if servos are close to centre of wing, negates "Flutter".

Hello,
If you use two servos and two channels, and happen to lose one channel you'll have chance of getting the plane back.
