Up to a certain size of the control surface, yes. And we run at less than 12 volts to make it work.

The other interesting thing is that the control surfaces can be put where they should be, not where to have to be to work mechanically. We are currently targeting UAS 1000lbs and below.

It is really fun to watch.

I am sure you know, but the Wright Brother "warped" their wings for control. No ailerons, etc.
