Some of the guys who fly these big birds beleive in doing a redundant system , with everything doubled up , except the receiver........I don't get it. What happens IF that one receiver goes bad? I does happen on occasion. And when it does.........your plane is going to meet it's doom. My room mate has been flying for over 15 years and just lost a P-51 Mustang dues to a wire that came undone (solder came loose in the receiver) It was about 100' up , and went strait down at about 3/4 throttle......we ended up digging the motor out of the ground with a shovel.
I'm going to have alot more money involved into my new 33% yak , and i (in my own opinion) would want to run the redundant system with TWO receiver's , so that paticular scenerio doesn't happen to me.
I have read a bunch of threads where guys insist that they always run a "dual rceiver" set up on anything on 33% on up.......so i'm just asking for help. I guess i'll try the wiring set up with the receiver #1 does the right side of the plane , and the receiver #2 does the left side of the plane...OR do receiver #1 does , right aileron , left elevator and the receiver #2 does left aileron and right elevator........which do you guys think might be best?
Here is a pic from a couple weeks ago with my room mates P-51.................
