<DIV><BR></DIV>The way I remember it when I started competition, it was based
on control functions not channels. All classes could have throttle, Class I
was rudder, Class II was rudder and elevator, and Class III was rudder,
elevator and ailerons. In fact most systems used two "channels" per
control function. Later on people used 4 channels on elevator. Up, down,
up trim, down trim. This took two "servos". I recall that Cliff
Bennett in South Bend built a rudder only plane for his son Dick that used a
reed bank and servos that required two channels, that were far superior to
escapement type "servos".
