I too am sorry for your loss but there are two problems with your set-up.

1. You can use one servo but only with a maximum of a 1.5" arm on the servo. (Assuming you had a standard control horn on the aileron.)

2. You cannot use a ball link on the phenolic horn. The twisting force will allow the horn to flex and that will allow flutter to happen.

I have seen many of these set up with only one servo per aileron. No problems at all but they all have had only 1.5" or 1.25" arms.
