thanks for the input, i know they arent the best, they used to be back in the day, haha, i just hate to not use them somewhere so i figure ailerons would be the best option really
as far as the 5955 versus 8711, the jr is not metal gear are they?? doesnt say in my horizon book, i know the torque and speed is great, but durability isnt there, hear me out, i had bought a comp arf with 4721's or something like that, hight torque coreless nylon servos on all 4 surfaces(ail and ele), i pancaked it in doing a low troll, stripped out the ele servos, wasnt a really hard hit, broke the landing gear and that was it, okay i will give it the benefit of taking an impact, so i replaced them with metal 5625's, eventually i crashed the plane harder  , the other 2 aileron servos stripped out, the 5625's not only lasted but are flying in another plane now....i know we dont build with a crash in mind but that was $300 and some dollars gone besides the crash of the plane, i know stuff like that happens and anything can be damaged in an impact, but i wasnt thrilled with that especially since the metal ones made it through and hit just as hard if not harder, so i am leaning towards the 5955 still, the only reason still considering the 8711 is that in the center of the plane as a pull pull, it may be protected should something bad happen  ....anyway, thats my thoughts, curious what you guys think....not bad mouthing jr's or anything just sharing an experience, keep that in mind when replying
