Anyways, the videos of their planes you see at their website are not very good since they are flown by mediocre pilots.

Great Planes, why don't you hire a good pilot to demo your planes? I bet you can get more sales.
Frank Noll is flying the airplane you see in the stills. I will put his natural talent up against most.

Some past GP video pilots include Jason Noll and Jason Danhakl...you may have heard of these guys.

This plane is super easy to 3D and tons of fun.

Oops, I didn't know it was Frank and Jason Noll flying the planes. Maybe the camera guy didn't do a good job of capturing the best parts of their routines. If I were to choose a pilot to demo the planes, I'd go with Kyle Woyshnis but that is just me.

2 servos per aileron. Seems like over kill with todays technology.

I wondered about that also. I'm guessing they did that so people getting into the giant scale stuff can get two lower torque servos rather than one high torque servo? It probably gives the gas newcomer a sense of security also with those huge ailerons, but I don't see why they could not have gone with one solid high torque servo in the middle of the wing panel.

I think it was so the aileron doesn't flex under load.

Yes, they're thin and pretty large. Think I'm gonna get myself one. The extra aileron servos make it a bit more expensive. About $2000 with a DL50, JTec Pitts muffler and high quality digitals and accessories.
