Default RE: 1 servo or 2 ?

Makes sense...
I do have a computer radio - sorta. Its the JR XF631 6 channel so I can do a little more than the standard 4 channel Quattro. The instructions really only call for one servo but do give instructions on using two so I guess thats what I'll do. The ailerons are the full length of the wing but it also has fairly meaty rudder/elevator. I have two high torqe servos and the rest are JR 537's. Would the high torqes be better on the rud/ele or the ails? I'm going pull/pull on the rudder for whatever that's worth...

In reality, I can not believe that a 60 size craft needs the torque provided by a "high-torque" servo. Standard servos should be sufficient for all your surfaces. When I say standard, I mean "ball-bearing" style servos (the JR537's). This is basically the all the literature I have found on the Stinger suggest that standard servos are fine.

If you have the high-torque Servo's already, put them on rudder/elevator because those typically have the largest torque requirements, but remember, they are still overkill for the task at hand.
