Status: offline 		I'm starting to gather all the bits & pieces for a 35% Jtec Panzl. Servo's will be a big portion of the overall expense for this plane.
Are 5955's overkill for all surfaces? I'm more concerned about gear wear /slop than actual torque. What are you guys using?
Thanks,
Z

Status: offline 		Personally I could see 5985s in the wings since there are going to be 4.. but it's not really going to save you much so it's a tough call.

Def 5955 on rudder.. could also do 85s on El. but really in the long run you will prob save some money in gears so may com close to breaking even.

I dont really see something like this as overkill... its the guys who put this type of servo on a 74" or 78" plane that I consider overkill

Status: offline 		Yes, the 5985's and the 5955 for the rudder was exactly what I was looking at. But, at $26.29 a set for gears, (5985) you wonder if its really worth it. After the 1st season, the 5955's would be a bargain. I just wish there was an alternative.

Status: offline 		I would like to stay with Hi-Tec, at least on the ailerons, for the programability. I have the have the Hi-Tec programer and can use it to match the servo's. Servo's are a big investment for me, & I want to do it only once. Thanks for all the feed-back

What are you guys using?


I'm using 5955's all around on a 33% Extra; 2 on each aileron, 1 on each elevator, and 1 on the rudder. I have more torque than what's required on the elevators and definitely more than required on the ailerons. I never used Hitecs before but thought I would give the 5955's a try. I bought them not because the plane required the torque (on the ailerons especially) but because I had heard good things about the tight geartrain and lack of wear with the TI gears. I definitely have crisp control surface response. When looking at the initial cost of going with 5955's everywhere versus a combination of 5985's and 5955's, there wasn't that much difference.

Status: offline 		That's exactly what I was thinking. The lack of gear wear, and the ability to program/match throws for the ailerons are big factors for me, Aegis. What type of power supply are you using for all those digitals?
