Default RE: GP Super Stearman

I have my new SS in the box, no damage during shipping, and ready to begin building in a few months. I am still going through the mental prebuild and making decisions about engines and other parts. I plan to install a DLE 30 for propulsion and use one servo for each aileron ( 4 servo setup) - at the moment the servos woudl be HS-5485 digital servos, the Hitec version of a sport digital servo. Using four aileron servos does not seem to be the popular choice and I was wondering if I might get some feed back with some thoughts about that decision. The new radios make this very easy to do with the ability to trim each servo indepently or to make collective (in the aggregate not the collective pitch on a helicopter) trim changes to adjust for inflight variances. This thread has sure provided me with a bundle of helpful information as well as excitement about this plane. So please, if you have some thoughts about my decision to use four aileron servos, good or bad, please fire away. Thanks
