Default Please reccomend servo!

Hello,
I have a GP Extra 300 kit with a YS 91 and am looking for servo reccomendations for the rudder, ailerons, and elevator. I have a pushpull system on the Rudder and dual servo elevator. I have a futaba tx6a transmitter. I would like to hear reccomendations of any brand that would work with my futaba. I have only s3003's and I am sure that they are not adequate to turn that huge rudder. I would like to know what is somewhat affordable, I am not willing to pay 140.00 per servo. I need to know what will get the job done and not strip.
Thanks
Adam

hobbico makes a c-65 high-torgue standard 2 bb servo that was designed for 60 size planes,this should be a good candidate,it sports a universal connector and is available from tower hobbies for $29.99

I have used Hitech 615mg on many rudder applications and have never had a problem. About $45, well worth the $ and not a big dent in the wallet.

Thank you so much for your advice. It was exactly what I was looking for. 29-50.00 is perfect for my budget.

the hitec servos have good torque- they have had some complaints about centering if on a surface that has a lot of throw, as on 3d planes etc. but they may be fine for your extra 300.

alternatives are the futaba 9001 at about 55 ozs or the 9304 which is a relatively high torque servo rated at about 70 ozs i believe.

just giving you some choices here.
