Not sure what you mean by that, because those two ailleron servo's only serve to avoid long mechanical linkages. They are however both simultaneously controlled by the same ailleron stick, so they won't place ANY additional workload on the pilot, NOR make the plane more complicated to fly. Most people simply use a Y--harness to connect both servo's to a single RX output. Some use a separate output and connect both outputs in the TX programming.

There are very affordable "remote glow connections" that allow for a fuselage mounted socket connected to the glowplug. Very simple, and absolutely no issue.
