You're all right.
I believe the issue with the servo matching isn't so much the servos but how they are installed... we are having to adjust the movement for improper geometry.

I got the call last night from my LHS, that my 9100 is in! I will be running 8711's, A123's and try to not use matchboxes. I want to keep this one really simple.

I will be making up a very short "Y" for the ailerons and the rudder. Yes we all know that the stock servo connectors can only handle 3 amps continuously, besides the rudder you almost never will see the peak current draw on any other surface.

I am running a EQ10 in my 42% 260 and think it works really well. I also have ganged servos on every surface (12 8611a). On my new plane, Dalton ML300 42%, it will only (2 servos) be ganged on the rudder and ailerons (8 8711)

In my opinion this is THE setup for a 50-100 cc sized plane with only one servo per surface hands down.
