Default RE: which requires more servo torque...

Not sure about that logic daveopam

The control surface does not "know" what axis it is on, it is applying a given force to the plane depending on speed, area, throw etc. If a particular axis requires less force to change direction the plane just changes direction faster, that's why a wall is possible.

Imagine identical V8's, one in a suburban and one in a corvette (the vehicle represents the inertia of the axis and the engine the control surface or servo). Both vehicles (axes) will be pushed by the same force (servo), but the corvette accelerates faster. The engine doesn't know which car it's in

That's how I see it and I'm stickin to it
