Default SIG Extra 300 Aileron Flutter
I had both aileron servos strip out on my Sig Cap231EX/Saito 180 plane. I had good strong Sullivan metal horns, 4/40 hardware, sealed joints and 9202s @ 6V(90oz). The weak link was the servo gear train. I have since replaced all the servos with Futaba S9451's and have not had a problem since. Those light airframes with big motors and large control surfaces need a HD gear train.
