Default RE: Metal vs Plastic Servo Arms (Rookie?)

Thick plywood and fiberglass behave like jelly at speed.. The amount of force caused by dynamic pressure (and if you are unlucky enough aeroelastic forces) can be extremely high at the servo mounts and structure, pulverizing everything as fast as a blink of a eye.. (but leaving the metal servo arm intact, LOL)

But anyway, this is just my humble opinion, I am not a space engineer..
