Not to create any heartburn here fellas. Just my opinion for what it is worth. I am to the thinking that if a setup requires a certain amount of torque, then it really doesn't matter what arrangement or number of servos is used. I try to get away with as little as possible and still meet the criteria. And most times, way "WAY" over kill on torque. Our servos now days are inexpensive compared to the cost of replacement of an airframe. I am using Hitec HS7954SH's on the Pitts. Yeah, I know....not needed. But that plane ain't falling out of the sky because of weak servos. LOL. I really don't know what the specs are for the Pilot 40% 129" Yak. I can say that the rudder is totally BEHEMOTH. So is my sons PAU 43% Edge 540. If I remember correctly, he is using two Hitec HS7950TH servos. (486 each) I am using two HS7990TH servos on the Yak. Course they are 611 ounces each. 1222 total ounces. Now while I have no rudder fade, we both have noticed just a tick of rudder fade on his Edge. Again, Huge plane, huge rudder...(972 total ounces)
Personally I feel if someone wishes to do a setup a particular way, that is his choice. Most times we do things a specific way because that is just how we do things. We feel comfortable in doing so. The only time I will jump in and say "na...not good", not the way it should be....is when someone blatantly just does not understand or has not been in this hobby for as long as most of us.
