Default Cheap Micro Servos - Dragonfly - Any Good?

Has anyone had experience with the 6g (or 9g) yellow servos by these Canadian guys?

I need a few to drive flight surfaces on an 2ch 0.02 powered plane.

Wondering if I should ask for a few to be sent over.

Any opinions on what the best servos for this application are?

Ta,
Julian.

I obviously haven't seen them all but I have never seen a micro servo
that didn't chatter and buzz. I had one on throttle on one of my planes
with almost no friction and it chattered all the time.

Hey yeah - what is with that chattering?
One of the servos on my helicopter did that, and I assumed that it was because it was always under load. I was just really surprised to see how cheap this micro gear is now _ when I last considered a timy project everything cost a bomb. Cheap global postage, online purchasing. I love it. I'm going to give afew a go, and be pragmatic about the construction of the plane, so that is gear failure causes a crash it won't be the end of the world.

I have three dragonfly servos. The buzz a lot and they don't seem to move very smoothly. I have them on the spoilers on my sailplane, and they work, but I don't plan to get any more.

I have had good experience with GWS and Hitec.
