A rotorcraft (101) includes a fight control computer (FCC) (205), a first rotor system (110), and a second rotor system (112). The first rotor system (110) includes a first swashplate (122) coupled to a first rotor (118) and a first plurality of actuators (231) configured to move the first swashplate (122). The second rotor system (112) includes a second swashplate (124) coupled to a second rotor (120) and a second plurality of actuators (233) configured to move the second swashplate (124). The rotorcraft also includes a first communications channel coupled between the FCC, a first actuator of the first multiple actuators (231), and a second actuator of the second multiple actuators (233). The rotorcraft also includes a second communications channel coupled between the FCC and a third actuator of the first multiple actuators.
