Default RE: Using one ch for aileron servos as opposed to using two


ORIGINAL: karolh 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. Karol
Use of separate aileron servos permits the use of electronic rather than mechanical "differential", "Flapperons" and
if servos are close to centre of wing, negates "Flutter".
