I bought 5 225's to save weight in a .30-size FunKey aerobat. Now I'm finishing a Pica Jungmeister biplane. It should come out a 8 lbs. with a .91 4stroke. I intend to fly it in a "scale aerobatics" kind of way with throttle control. I'd like to use the 225's instead of 422's to both save weight and increase torque, on 4.8V. There will be one rudder servo with pull-pull cable, one elevator with a split pushrod, and an aileron servo at each aileron.
Does the larger 422 servo have a stronger gear train than the smaller 225? Is this a reasonable application for this servo? thanks a lot!

Mike.
