Did he ever measure the current draw on his model. If you have binding surfaces, you are going to be pumping a lot of current through the servos constantly. A 6-servo model at idle should be under 100 ma total.

Last night Cal Posthuma and I were discussing the situation with the smaller 
digital servos. We've
never had problems with them however, one of our fellow flyers did. He was 
using a larger battey
pack, I think it was a 6 volt, to get more zip out of the contol surfaces and 
burned out some
servos. We have been using the standard 4.8 volt with no problems.
