Default RE: ONE RECEIVER OR TWO??

Someone just wrote an article in the AMA magazine stating the opinion that two receivers are not useful and in fact may be harmful due to the increased failure rate and supposedly reduced range. I have heard a bunch of people say that dual receivers aren't necessary in a 33% plane. Okay, then why are they necessary in a 35 or 40%? The aerodynamic loads aren't much different I would guess. The current draw through the receiver is probably comparable. Regardless of the speculation on these two points, I like to err on the side of caution, backup, redundancy so I chose two receivers for my 33% Edge.
