A flight control system for a flight control surface includes a first actuator control electronics (ACE), a second ACE, a third ACE, a first remote electronics unit (REU), and a second REU. The first ACE is configured to generate a first control signal for the flight control surface. The second ACE is configured to generate a second control signal for the flight control surface. The third ACE is configured to generate a third control signal for the flight control surface. The first REU is coupled to the first ACE and the second ACE, and configured to operate, based on the first control signal and the second control signal, an actuator coupled to the flight control surface. The second REU is coupled to the second ACE and the third ACE, and configured to operate, based on the second control signal and the third control signal, the actuator.
