A rotorcraft includes a fight control computer (FCC), a first rotor system, and a second rotor system. The first rotor system includes a first swashplate coupled to a first rotor and a first multiple actuators configured to move the first swashplate. The second rotor system includes a second swashplate coupled to a second rotor and a second multiple actuators configured to move the second swashplate. The rotorcraft also includes a first communications channel coupled between the FCC, a first actuator of the first multiple actuators, and a second actuator of the second multiple actuators. The rotorcraft also includes a second communications channel coupled between the CC and a third actuator of the first multiple actuators.
