Yeap! I burnt one 225 on my rudder too. But I had a long arm on it and since then, with a regular arm, I have no problems. Of course I have less than 30 flights on the whole package ( I hate this winter).
I considered the mini digitals too but they seemed expensive especially when you consider they are going into a $60 fun fly. I know, peace of mind is priceless but I'd rather bite the 2oz weight penalty and install standard servos which theoretically will give you the same peace of mind with way less $$$$
But like jess implied a lot will depend on the way you fly it!

Just my $0.02
