Exsactly, thats how I decied weather to use metal or not, if I need to use a good aluminum arm then I need metal gears.
I have a top flite gaint p51 when I first built it, I used plastic gear 100oz futaba servos, but after a little while I became uncomfortable as realized I was bumping the control serfaces a lot while putting them in and out of my exsplore, so I figured it was not worth the risk,
As you can bump a plastic gear servo and mess it up and it may not center once in the air.
PS I can not stand the Dubro hevy duty plastic arms, I have serveral that have striped very easly on me couseing me greef.
