Default Too Many Servos???

Can you have too many servos in your plane? I am restoring a Wing B-25 and do not like the cable system for the rudder. I also have no plans to tell me how to set up the elevator controls. My thoughts were to install four micro servos. Two in the tail for the elevator and two in teh horizontal stab for the rudders. Is this overkill? I'm familiar with weight issues and will select engines accordingly.

Mostly, upgrade the battery pack. More is better and safer.

I set-up a Wing P-38 several years ago with 2 aileron servos, 2 Rudder sevos, 2 throttle, and 1each for elevator, nosewheel, & retracts.
I am doing a B-24 right now with 4 throttle, 2 aileron, 2 flap, 2 rudder, 1 each elevator, retract, & nosewheel sevos.

Terry, is it safe to say that most if not all of your servos will be hidden?
