A system and method for controlling two or more actuators (10", 20") acting together to move a component or surface (1), the system comprising: two or more actuators engaged with the component or surface to be moved, each actuator being displaceable to move the component or surface in response to a component or surface position command, each actuator having an associated actuator controller (11", 21") to receive the position command and to output an actuator displacement command; and force fight control means (400) configured to determine a force differential from forces, or a pressure differential from pressures measured at each actuator and to derive a speed and/or a current offset signal, and to provide the offset signal to the actuator controllers to modify the actuator displacement commands.
