Vincent, In my set up with the Guardian, I had it exactly like you say but on the elevators: two elevators to a matchbox with independent power, only signal through the gyro. When the Guardian took a dump, no SIGNAL got to the elevators. They were absolutely dead. Luckily it all happened on the ground
I discounted it as a freak failure, but after some research, found several users of these units experience similar conditions, so I won't use one in my jets again.
It is a shame, cause I feel they have by far, the most advanced software. I guess they are trying to cater a different segment of the hobby, where a 200+ unit will not sell
