It's true you don't need a lot of torque to move the ailerons, especially if you are flying slow and gentle. But these are the scarest servos to me. Because that is where all the flutter on the F90 starts. If you happen to overspeed somehow (like give it some throttle or go down) the standard servos are in danger. The servos on the ailerons are not just for control but for reduction/prevention of flutter...loss of parts...loss of control...Loss of plane.
I think this plane needs at least 90 oz servo. Over a 100 up to 125 is better. It begs to have better servos.
Thanks

You are exactly right about that. I forgot all about the flutter issue. Good point!
I never had that happen but have seen it many of times before. A brand new plane go down because of cheaper servos in wings without metal or carbonite gears. Even though they argue the servos have toque in wings the right gear combination in them are a must.
