Default Definately airleron

The elevator is fairly well protected between the vertical stabs. The airleron servo is subject to strongr mechanical forces both in flight and when landing where the airlerons are more likely to take a jolt.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the thread until after it have been up for a while.... and .... I wasn't paying attention . You shouldn't have any problem, but I'd keep a close eye on them. My 55s started stripping without failing completely. Periodically, check them by holding the surface and stalling the servo. I noticed my problem during a simple preflight. When I threw the airlerons back and forth I could hear the servo grinding, but eventually finding position.
