Standard torque servos will be more than adequate. 40-50 oz. will be more than enough. The SS 60 is relatively light and they aren't known for being rocket ship fast either.

Default Use regular bearing servos

I use JR 531's all around with no problems. Build it as a trail dragger and don't beef up anything but the landing gear are in the wing. Use carbon fiber pushrods and better hardware where needed. Mine is almost done.

What book? I LOVE your covering job! Was thinking about buying those 3 books from Model Airplane News by Faye ___ ?

Are they all the same, one better than another, which do you all recommend?

Don't mean to tap into your thread, but looks like your question was answered.

LOVE that plane!

Heath
