Default Servos for my jet. Confused

Hi guys

I bought an f18 1/8 scale turbine jet. It’s the jet legend f18 or BVM F18 1/8th scale.

the model currently has JR DS171 servos on the ailerons and rudders. I was told these are more than enough by fellow pilots.

Flaps have savox Sc-0251 which are rated at 16kg torque.

my concern is what’s the best choice servo for my elevators. I need two servos and want to ensure I put the right servo with more than enough torque.

i currently have sets of MKS HV665 servos and at 6v, I will get 13kg per servo for each side of my elevator.

Is this enough or do I need more torque?

also, has anyone used Savox servos in Jets? How reliable are they if u did use them? I can get savox SC1256tg servos that deliver 20kg of torque for a good price. But not familiar with these in terms of reliability.

thanks
