In your opinion what is the best throttle servo for a 40 size plane.
Im going for lightness with a plane and want to know some peoples responses.

Thanks,
Jim

I can give a Futaba response since that's what I have. I've always used S133's for throttle. They've given me good service. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on any servo. When they start to act up, use them for parts and just replace them.

The standard servos that came with your system will do just fine. The Futaba S148, and S3001 are excellent standard servos, and will give very good service.

Yes, I know that the standards will give me good service but i want to go light. I like those hitecs alot. I have some hitec stuff and it has never given me a problem. What is a good throttle servo made by hitec.

Thanks again,
Jim

Hi,

I used a Hitec 101 micro servo on the throttle of my Hovering Cobra.

I should ad it right behind the engine, so I only have a small pushrod.

What about those hs-81. Is that a good throttle servo for a 46.

If, as you keep saying, you like the Hitecs a lot, then buy them. Dont listen to anybody else.

If you used a micro just installed it close to the engine.....because they are not powerfull servo for a normal size in the servo bay will work fine.

I used mini on my pattern plane but the digital type for reliable throttle position, but for the funfly/sport type plane throttle position is not that important.

At 32 oz.in. the HS-81 has plenty of torque to move your throttle, and saves a full ounce of weight vs. the standard servos. You could even go for the HS-60 Super Micro at 16 oz.in., but that would only save 0.16 oz of weight over the HS-81. You talked me into it, HS-81 will be my next throttle servo!
