Default RE: ONE RECEIVER OR TWO??

And you can land your plane fine with 1/2 of your control surfaces (I have done it twice). Replaced an elevator servo, forgot to put locktight on the servo arm and it fell off during flight. Flew approximately 1/2 of my IMAC sequence and some 3D before even realizing that I only had 1 elevator. Also had the same thing happen with an aileron (but from a different reason). Bottom line is that these planes are very stable and if you still have control over one side of the plane you can more than likely land just fine. I know mine weren't reciever related, but if it had been I would have been fine (cell go bad in a battery and one rx goes down, switch goes bad, etc).
