Yes, Servo is moving. Pushrod is made of 1/4 CF tube. It doesn't bend a bit. The problem is, that Hi rate is 6 times more than low rate. Maybe it is a junkie servo (both behave like that, and they are brand new - I have bought them yesterday).
See the following video clip, I have just made. First part is hi rate end-to-end movement, next is end-to-end low rate, and then how the servo gives up under the force. You can hear the servo humming.

I'm going to LHS tomorrow to check them and probably replace for digital. I think two HS-5625MG will do the job (131 oz torque each).
I don't see a problem with ailerons just because on hi rate they move just 1 inch, and 0.5 inch on low rates. So first of all the wind force is not as strong as on elevator, and if they give up, it might be less then 1/8 inch (which is 1/4 of full deflection on low rates).
I have been warned, that ailerons might give me a problem on the "wall" or "parachute", and I might be forced to put digitals there too.
