Always use a plastic servo horn as it will usually strip or break instead of wrecking the servo.
I would rather spend £5 on a new horn than fork out for a new servo.
Only problem with that is that many of the plastic horns are utter junk and will strip following a big landing with a bit of lock, or clipping a track boundary. That's why i *don't* use them.

Doing a servo once or twice a year is less of a pain than doing a horn every two or three weeks. Which is what i was doing. Especially a pain when they all seem to come in 3 or 6 packs, all but one end up in the bin.
