Default Thoughts on this.....

Guys,

The elevator setup on my Skygate Hawk is as in the pics below. Has 2 or 4 servos driving a giant carbon pushrod via the pivoting arm thingy that I can't think of the correct term for whilst I sit typing this [:@]

Now, I was planning on using 2 8711 servos but have just realised that if one servo fails I will have no elevator movement as the one servo left moving will just be spinning the arm without pushing the pushrod???

If I swapped to 4 servos and 1 failed do you think there would still be elevator authority??

Awaiting comments!

Cheers,
Mark
