Harley,
Fortunately this crash did not happen at a show. This was at my local flying field when this happened and it was the second flight of the day and about the 30th flight of the aircraft.

I am really considering going with single elevator with dual servos. I could set it up and test what would happen if I lost a servo to see if the other servo could out drive the damaged servo.


Gordon,
I wish somebody had thought of your idea before saying that dual elevators is for redundancy. I think that they would have found out if you lose one half of the elevator (especially if it is flapping in the breeze) your control of the aircraft is severly diminished.
