FYI: I went with those karbonite gear servos per recomendations from Tom in one of his posts(see link below) since they are only going on the airlerons... which aren't that big of a control surface. If they are not going to work someone speak up, because I don't need a servo failure here. Tom?

What I said in that post was;

What I told you was Hitec 6635. These are Karbonite gear servos with 80 oz. of torque. They are pretty good for smaller planes like the 73" Edge and the Ultimate's ailerons.

I don't like the Karbonite gear output shaft on heavily loaded surfaces, it's too flexible, but on a small surface like the Ultimate's aileron it works fine.
I stand by what I said, I used the 6635s in the Ultimate on ailerons and they worked fine. I see no reason not to use them if you already have them. But be aware that on a larger surface with vibration (like a large aileron) they have shown a tendency to break the gears.
