I will test the flaps high up, to be safe.
Also, I just bought some hitec servos, and realized that they are not ideal, because they have karbonite gears. On hitec's website it sais that they should not be used on gas (not glow) engines. Should I be ok with my glow engine? All of my other servos are not karbonite, so I guess even if one of them failed, I could still hopefully land.
Gas engines usually generate a lot more vibrations than glow engines. The karbonite gears may not be compatible with gas engines because they are more brittle. Metal gears are usually recommended for gas engines. I know that is the case for bigger gas engines, don't about the new small gassers.
