Any input in this matter would be greatly apritiated.

Hey Hector.... I now have 92 flights on my 3m 260 & she flies well. Here is my set-up:
1 (JR 8711) per elevator
2 (JR 8611A's) per aileron (Both on the phenolic plate near the wing root)
3 (JR 8611A's) on a SWB Rudder tray.

I won't get into a Hitec/JR comparison.... I can only tell you what works for me. I don't see a need to use 2 servos in each elevator as this will increase your tail-weight considerably. Make sure that you use metal arms all-round.
