What if the elevator servo fails?
Doesn't matter what failsafe device you have, it can't rectify a failed
servo.

100g is overkill, I don't need to destroy any evidence :) perhaps few
grams of nichrome wire and a relay could pop the heads off nylon wing
bolts...

For the competition, we are required to kill the motor and spiral into
the ground with aileron and rudder at maximum deflection. The
organisers (or their insurers) obviously think "flyaway" is a worse
risk than diving into a competitor/spectator/innocent kangaroo.
