I have stripped aileron servo gears FOUR times. At first I thought it was

setup. The plane is an Aries, JR 8231 servos. Plane and servos are less than
four months old: about 60-70 flights. Right aileron has broken 3 times and the
left has broken once (one each today). The breakage has always been slightly
right of center on the output gear. There is no static binding. The hinge lines
are sealed. I can’t be positive but I believe the gears are breaking
during a down line snap. BTW, I snap to the right. I don’t believe its flutter
because the breakage is NOT at center. I don’t believe its excessive travel because
the breakage is not at the extremes of travel.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

have used this exact same servo setup in two other planes. I did break a gear
