SET UP DUAL SERVOS

igger models fly better. It’s a fact of physics because while you can scale an airplane down, you can’t scale an air molecule. Not only do big planes fly better, but they are also easier to see. As a result, our planes are getting bigger and bigger, even our servos are getting an unbelievable amount of strength to help push all those large control surfaces. However, even with the giant leaps of power, in some cases we still have to double up servos on one surface or use a servo on each surface to perform a single function, such as dual elevators. For modelers, this means we have to set up multiple servos so they are in harmony with each other, traveling the same distance and ending in the same location as the other one. Otherwise the servos are fighting each other, consuming more power than they should by binding or possibly imparting physical damage to the
