Anyone flying the PAU Extra 300 40% using only 2 aileron servos a side and 1 elevator servo a side?
I've been told this aircraft needs 3 aileron servos and 2 elevator servos a side because the control surfaces are built up and not solid stock. That they could warp during throw,
My 40% Suhkoi also has built up control surfaces using 2 servos and 1 servo a side. I've never noticed a problem. Trying to keep from having to buy 4 more Futaba S9157 and SWB servo arms.
What do you think?

IIRC and it's been some time, when that airplane was introduced quite a few guys were going with dual aileron servos and single elevator servos. There were a number of wing failures so PAU got a new wing and provided them to all the owners free of charge but instead of 3 aileron servos suggested and 2 elevator servos, they were now required or PAU would not honor any warranty claims.

I could be mistaken that it was this particular model/brand, but I think that it's correct.

Oh, you'll more likely get a response from an owner past or present, over on FG as not many GS guys frequent this website anymore....

Herve is in Orlando these days, just text me if you want his number and you can discuss it with him directly.

I was looking at the manual for this aircraft. Right on the front is the statement that the warranty is void if you don't use 3 and 2 a side. Zeeb you know your airplanes
thanks everyone
