AFAIK carbon itself is stronger fibre that kevlar. I think most flaps
and ailerons are made of 100% kevlar, though not sure why. Maybe it's
lighter than carbon and still strong enough?

I don't know whether its lighter than carbon, but its easier to get
lighter weight kevlar fabric than carbon (35 gsm vs 80gsm). Horrible
stuff to work with, though.
