    What's a cool use of a 3rd channel in an electric build?

    Can you add a 2nd servo to make a big rooster on comand, or for LEDs, or...anything worth doing if you have an open channel ???

              What size? E? (that's the BIG one right?) IDK, maybe if i ever crash it, I'd next use that 3rd channel to touch off a hull full of Hogden black powder at 30-40 MPH. That would be a SWEET youtube vid, might even float up some fish for dinner...HA. maybe....

                          3rd channel will do "on the fly" what would normally have to be brought back to shore to do.

                                      BINGO. The twin struts will adjust via 3rd channel

                                              Hmmm, good ideas. Can a speedmaster stinger be adjusted that way? What do you need, like a worm gear setup or....?
