Help with servo selection
I'm looking for two mid-size servos to do dual aileron duty on a sport .40 size airplane. (Sig Kavalier with Enya SS45)
I hope to find something one ounce or less with enough grunt to handle this aircraft without fear of stripping gears.
Do you think Hitec HS85BB or Futaba S-3115s would do the trick? It seems there are not many choices in this area or maybe I'm overlooking some. I really do not want to use standard servos because of the extra weight. Any ideas?
Thanks
Ed

RE: Help with servo selection
The HS225 was on my list, but I've heard a lot of bad reports on it.
Any personal experience with it?
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks again

Never a problem. I have the BEC set to 6v.

RE: Help with servo selection
Your servo choices do seem quite marginal, and for a .40 size sport/trainer type model such as yours using standard sized servos such as Futaba S148 or S3004 servos would be a good idea.
