So.. The surfaces are a bit large for the low profile  servos. Try the line of servos of HD servos. Troybuilt Models carries them. I bought a load of these last season and used them in everything from a 60 size bird on up thru my 50cc models. No failures at all and I'm hard on my planes.

HD-DS120M 178 oz-in at 6v Digital Servo with universal connector and Futaba arms  28.99


Also .. I would suggest a good  digital servo for throttle that has better centering than the cheapies for repeatable throttle control.

I do not see that one listed on their page any more.  In fact the only one I saw was this one:
http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/items/HS7955.html
but that is $90

Their servo list jumps from 144 in oz to 373 and is at:
http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/category/SEHI/Hitec-Servos.html 
which shows the JR8711 at 373 in oz.

What is being used for servos in these big birds now?  I have a 310 that was built in the early 80's so I have some big EK Logitrol servos in it.  It has never flown as I am still trying to figure out how to mount the Quadra engines I got at that time as they are too big for the cowl.

Thank you.

Try this servo at value hobby

http://www.valuehobby.com/radio-systems-servos/servos/power-hd-hd-9150mg-metal-gear-digital-servo.html

Don't see those ds120 listed anymore

The specs on this servo is Product Highlights
Dimension: 40x20x37mm; Weight: 60g
Torque: 15.8kg/cm (219.4oz/in)
Speed: 0.17sec

It's 29.00

I have had a couple of the ds120's go bad .. Gears.. But that's because I beat them up pretty hard. With this scale bird they will last.

Just a little off topic with respect to a 310, but, still noteworthy. Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tullahoma, TN is having their Beech Party this week. I saw what appeared to be a Bonanza V tail flying over with a major problem. It was a TWIN lol. I drove out to the airport / museum to take a closer look. It turned out to be a Baron 55 that someone changed the tail to a V tail like the Bonanza. Im going back out later with my camera to try and get some shots of it. Not sure if the Baron 55 or 58 had a V tail option???? But there is one now lol.

WBG



The airplane that you saw was a Bay Super Vee. It's a Beech Model 35 converted to a twin. Cool looking airplane, a little bit bizarre but neat all the same.

Yup, that be the plane I saw

I have a set of plans for a Baron 58, that takes 2 40's, Im thinking of doing it "V" tail and electric. I have the retracts for it and all the wood and foam. Should be a quick build.

Thanks for the photo stuntflyr, I wasnt able to make it back to the airfield to take any pictures before it left.

Ill keep you all posted

I sold my 310 but, I am thinking of just getting the one from G&L. Greg is only about an hour away so may take him some ....Holiday Cheer....lol and we can discuse pricing :P

I will be using these on the G&L glass kit.

I just ordered the giant retracts from HK to install on my 310.
Will post Pics of gear and install when I get them. As the nose wheel can be seen in pic it has a dual wheel set-up
That is the way I got it.. Not very scale so in go the retracts.

Status: offline 		Well, it looks good would make a great canidate for an electric conversion. It kinda looks like a wing mfg but as you stated, its too small. Im at a loss. But, there are lots of people out there that take plans and blow them up or shrink them down to fit thier needs. It may not even be a kit. Just something scratch built. You might go and search rcscalebuilder.com they have pages of forums dedicated to builds of all types of scale planes. Might find some info there.

Good luck with it

Started doing the install of HK's giant retracts. Pics show original gear, Then outline for the retracts, and the beginning
of cutting out to fit the retract and wheel. Right now it is rought cut and I plane on installing Balsa to enclose the
Retract cut out. I will beef up any areas that will need it. and figure out how to put covers on them might attact a 3/4
on the strut and a 1/4 spring loaded door for lower half of the wheel. Well anyway check out the Photos and will continue
to post more as progress is made.
