Default RE: Great Planes Reactor 120-160?

Why did Great Planes go with 2 aileron servos per wing ?? Most planes in this class use only 1.
It would help to save weight as well, the 2 extra servos, possibly a couple of match boxes or a power expander.

Beyond that, this planes looks really really good.

Oh yeah, removable stabs would be a nice treat as well. But Great Planes doesn't do it for any of their planes in the performance series.
A lot of people, myself included have stayed away from them for that reason. We don't all have vans, and it won't fit in my car.

But since I am 5 minutes from our flying field. I may need to rig a way to hold my hatch open to accomodate this plane.
HaHa my car is small enough that if I leave the nose of the plane sticking out the back. Put a pusher prop on a DL-50....It would probably push my car to the field.
It would cut down on break in time at the field
