Default RE: Plastic servo arms?

Food for thought, and another way of looking at it.........................
If you build a $10,000 jet, what percentage of the cost of the entire jet is a handfull of aluminum servo arms?

Not enough to sweat.

Using a BVM KingCat as an example, it only costs another $54.00 to use one per flight control surface and one for the nosegear steering.
That is 1/2 of one percent of the entire cost of the jet. Why go through the hassle of stripping an arm, and the worst case possibility of losing the whole jet when you can avoid it for another $54.00?
Makes good sense to me.
(The $54.00 cost is assumed, using using the JetPower servo arm I mentioned in post 16 of this thread.)
