Default load on flight controls and servo selection

Two things to consider when selecting servos for 3D flying.

First; the more extreme flying will introduce higher hinge moments on the control surfaces.

Second; The linkage is usually installed to increase the maximum throw which gives the servo less mechanical advantage. You normally have the control rod on the outer servo hole and the inner control horn hole. Therefore the hinge moment torque is increased when it gets to the servo.
