If I recall even Hitec says not to use Karbonite in large gas planes. They are awesome servos, like they NEVER get sloppy - but use them in smaller planes (80 inches or less). I would think they would be fine in bipe ailerons... Personally - I would not use anything but metal gears in any gasser now but I have used the Karbonites in the past...
I had the Karbonite digis in my 3W-24 powered Kangke Cap 120 100's of flights and the servos were as tight as new after all that time.. ... so take it for what its worth...

What a world... LOL Where I live it's not as open and our runways are 250 - 500 ft depending on direction of landing and approch is hindered by trees where you have to swoop in after you get by them. . Most of the guys flying untill this past year a large plane was 72" Unless it was a giant SIG SR. We have a 150 memebers and over the past 2 yrs guys have got into gas... most were nitro 60 - 70 in wing span... A few large warbirds... top flight kits or old Byron... Because of the price droping on Engines, planes and servos everyone is going SOOOOoooooooo Large. A friend of mine has a 1/4 scale PUP from Balsa USA and took in with him while working this winter to SC and he said his plane was just average for sz if that there... most were larger....
