i want to put the hitech 700 on a dave patrick edge plane.

i think the power and speed are more than enough.
they are a bit bigger but i dont care enlarging the holes for the servos.

here is the tech. information:
Operating Speed (4.8V): 0.22sec/60 degrees at no load
Operating Speed (6.0V): 0.17sec/60 degrees at no load
Stall Torque (4.8V): 138.87 oz/in. (10kg.cm)
Stall Torque (6.0V): 173.58 oz/in. (12.5kg.cm)
Dimensions: 2.32" x 1.14"x 2.04" (59 x 29 x 52mm)
Weight: 3.59 oz.. (102g)


i have never had hitech servos so i would like to hear your advise...
thank you very much

My Feedback: (506)

Bad choice (except for the rudder, and even there its not the best choice)

These servos are huge and heavy. Consider using the 6xx series or their digitals.

I would agree the 5645 or 5945 would be a much better choice than the 700. The 700 is a 1/4 scale servo that would probably be better suited for a scale model like a cub.
You want to keep the weight of your plane to a minimum and using a bunch of 3.5oz servos isn't the way to do it. The 5645 digitals cost about $55, are programmable and provide ample torque for planes up to 35% scale. If it was me I'd use the 5645's on the elevator and ailerons, 5945 on the rudder and a good quality analog servo on throttle

For servos and receivers you can try www.chiefaircraft.com or www.towerhobbies.com

Theres a guy on e-bay I believe his store nameis toms rc simulator I've purchased
brand new futaba 7 channel receivers for around 50 bucks, he also has hitec supreme
8 channel receivers for about the same price. Pretty cheap if you ask me.
