Default Servo extensions

Hey guys,

Been on the sidelines with this hobby for nearly 10 years and alot has changed since I was last active in this hobby. I have a new build I have started (Adams A500) and the elevator servo is nearly 7 feet worth of distance away from the reciever. The instructions do not cover the basic set up of such equipment and my question is what is the best way to connect the two. Servo extensions or custom wiring? What about boosting the signal or any chance of interference at such a long distance? Would like to here pros and cons of all aspects. I'm leaning towards custom wiring as the alterintive would require alot of extensions even the 40" ones.

Another question reguarding dual servos for the same function (multiple flaps/dual rudders etc.). Would you connect with "Y" harness or use a mix function of the radio between 2 channels?

Whats the consinces of the new futuba "fast" radio systems?

I know I could probably search the sight and find most of my answers but my time is limited.

Thanks in advance to those of you that can help

Good flying
