My Ripmax spit has finally arrived but I'm planning a few mods before I build it. I'm not big on having only 1 servo for both ailerons so I'm going to install a servo for each aileron.
What's the best way of doing this? From the instructions it looks like I should be able to mount the servos in the hand launch holes - will this work?
Also, regarding the setup for rates etc, how sensitive is this thing, will I need any expo or anything?

I only use the one servo set up, but my mate has put two in his. He just made the stock servo position larger. IMO not worth the hassle.
Definitely do not exceed the throws of the manual. As for expo, I do not have any dialled in but my mate flys with 20%+ (JR) on Ail and Ele for a slightly softer feel.
