I'm sure it'd have to be tweaked with the right equipment (possibly plastic gear servos).
I understand that no matter what you do with your elev setup, you still only have 1 TX & 1 power distributer, but I think full scale is so safe today because known problems are addressed one by one.

You would still have a non-redundant connection to the flight control surface that could fail. Which fails more frequently, the servo, the linkage to the flight surface, or the flight surface itself?
