Like I said this is not your usually application but if I can find the correct parts it should work fine! Here is the deal I have a shooting range that has 9 retrievals positions that move up to 100 feet on a rail. What the servo will do is turn the target on edge 90 degrees or present the targets face. A PLC (Programmable Logic Array) will control the turning of the target at a specific distance for a specific time and for a interval of time! So why RC servo because the targets move on a cable system and a wired system is not possible over at 100 feet.
The master controller would talk to each of 9 PLC's and instruct them to turn.
I told you it was an unusual application!

Wow,
that is definitely an odd application.
I guess I don't understand why one person can't control all 9 targets? If they are all to be turned at the same time, 1 person could easily do it, if they have a 5-10 second gap in between each one turning a single person could still do it.
I spent 7 years in the military and was trained on how to use a computer to control 20+ lanes of 12-15 targets each popping up at preset times. They weren't turning 90 degrees though. I would guess there would be an easier way to go about this then using R/C stuff but maybe not.
Good luck with whatever you do!
