I don't fly jets, but I've used these servos in several warbirds with great success. Never had one fail on my yet. I don't know if my experience will help you out with jets, but I wouldn't hesitate to use this servo in any of the warbirds or larger sport planes that I fly.

Hope this helps

Ken

There was a thread about these servos over on Flying Giants several years back and the consensuses seemed to be that they were quite good.
I did a bit of looking around and there don't seem to be too many places selling them and the places that do sell them seem to be asking about $130
each. At that price there are lots of good servo choices.

I have these in my SM 1/6 F-16. They work very well. They have not developed any slop, are very precise, and have a lot of torque.

Quick question, will the Airtronics 94780 servo fit on the JMP 0-Flex Servo Mount that is made for the JR 8711?

I've heard nothing but good things about them from guys flying giant scale 3D planes.

Hi,

What's the verdict on Savox servos?
Once again, not in jets but I have a set of Savox in a warbird. I've been really happy with them so far and no complaints. A little over a year of use in a TF P-51 and the servos are running like they were new. No slop and no failures yet. And I'm far from gentle on the planes that I fly!!!

Hope this helps

Ken

Hi,

I'm looking for a low-cost alternative for the VT nozzles on an F-22.
