RE: CMP Cessna 182 Building Thread-->the best scale Cessna 1.20 size ARF that is on the market!!!
It is a great question that you have. Primarily because I like the hi-torgue servos on anything above .90 sized aircraft. Also, because the servos were available.
I know that I can use regular ball bearing servos, and set up the linkages for maximum mechanical advantage, however, I will just have the extra security of the additional "built in" torque of the hi-torque servo with the stronger gears and more sturdy control arms. After all, you cannot beat the price and reliability of the Hi-Tech product line. I primarily fly all Futaba gear, however, Hi-Tec has convinced me of its exceptional products that this company puts out.
Simple anwser: The servos were on the table at the time of construction.
