Add 10g to get to the 2211 with 19.3 kg-cm torque at 7.4v. Keep in mind that given the throw distance needed on the rudder you are going to have more than a 1cm control horn on the servo and the corresponding resulting loss of force to the rudder cable/control rod depending on your install. I think I have 1.5inches (3.8cm) from center to each rudder cable, so with the 1609's 13kg-cm we're talking about 3.4kg of effective force on a very large and not counter-balanced rudder. Again, note the %-age of available torque being used just to hold my Allure level through a 2 of 4 at 1:20 in my flight. Now, imagine asking that same rudder servo to hold through a KE loop!

For interest, if I were to set up a mono.
Ail - JR/DFA 3911 x 2 = 68g, elev - JR NX3421 x 2 = 60g, rudd - JR/DFA 3911 = 34g, throttle - JR HV169 = 22g.
Total = 184g. Take out the throttle servo and it's 162g.
