I would use HS81 servos. They are more than enough for a Baby Birdie. The Feather receiver is the worst product that I've ever seen from Hitec, so I wouldn't use one. Hitec has started using "feather" to describe a lot of their products, but I mean the single conversion one with a red heat shrink case.

I think that your best value would be to buy a Hitec 555 flight pack.

It comes with a Hitec 555 RX, 3 Hitec HS81 servos, a 250mAh battery and a switch harness for under $100.

Try the .049 and if it isn't enough, put in the .10.

As an alternative, how about the FMA PS-10 servos? They don't put out as much torque as the HS-81 (12.5 oz/in vs 36 oz/in) but they weigh only .16 oz instead of .58 oz? They also have a 'universal' connector, but if that shouldn't pose a problem...

Just suggesting an alternative.
