I’m like you I was pretty much JR Servo (Jr TX as well), I had a full biplane with Savox (F3A type) and I was disappointed by the amount of play in those servo after 30 or so Flights......they were tight when I installed them....I know that some are better then other, just don’t want to try them all.
Tried the MKS and I really like them in all my new planes for the last 2-3 years....also like the Ditex.
I always saw servo’s as in investment...since they can always be reused in something else......my T-1 has 4X HBL960 (ail/elev) 3X 777 (flp/rud) 1x Mini 6625 on nose door and Ditex 1906 on Steering...really happy with them, will change my arms this winter to get more resolution from them.
