It depends, if it was a power problem to one receiver, the servos would not lock up but I'd never put a single control surface crossed between 2 receivers. If the receiver had other problems such as a crystal falling out, it would end up locking up or worse. So, you'd have servos fighting each other.
Don from Don's Hobby Shop in Salina, KS recommends that you cross the elevator and aileron (left receiver - left aileron, right elevator. right receiver - right aileron, left elevator) to compensate for the loss of a control surface on a specific side.
Never tried to land a plane like that so have no idea. I've *heard* its like flying on really realy low rates (unless you have one side with servos all locked at full throw)

OK.....i did some more searching through a bunch of different threads on this "redundancy system"......and it seems alot of the guys who use this ( with the dual receiver's anyways) have the left side of the airplane set up on one receiver , and the right side set up with another receiver.
My question is this.........if you have your airplane set up like this........and one reciver fails , can you still have a chance at landing your airplane with one side not working? What about a dual servo on the rudder,.......if one of the servo's has failed because of the receiver for that side gave up........i wonder if it would lock up and make it so the other servo couldn't be in use either.
man this is giving me a headache!
Does anyone have a "dual receiver" , with a smartfly power expander diagram or picture? if i could physically see it , i think it would help. I know i'll still have questions.........it's probably so simple , i'm over looking things i think.
