This is the heads-up video for someone who installed those stock plates, that mostly installed in super scorpion and the larger aviation design models, they have multiple variations of plates that available to purchase from carbonfiber to aluminum, just check what condition are your plates before something happens

This has been a known problem for years already. So either make your own like Dansy above or 2 options below....

That’s right why they even includ those junk plastic plates with their already so expensive models? They should not even use them, that’s a serious problem, I’m so lucky that I was able to safely landed the jet and not hurt no one with , USA lawyers just love that

Since these servos were glued in I'm wondering if the glue used played a part in making them brittle; kinda like thread locker will do to plastic?
These appear to be servo plates/covers on the vertical stab. Are the ones in the wing in the same condition?

The ones included with my new scorpion kit crumbled in my hands while i was handling then during building. I just replaced them with G10 pieces.
the larger concern was the 4 dots of CA that was used to “glue” the horizontal stab pivot rod into the stab structure. After one flight one stab had enough slop in it to move 2” at the trailing edge.

I contacted Aviation Design and their servo covers are in fact 100% aluminum. I ordered a set for the wing. They do not have aluminum ones for the servo hatches on the vertical stabs of the Scorpion. Ultimate jets does not appear to have their carbon fiber ones in the size needed for the Scorpion vertical stabs. I have contacted them to see if that is true.
