I know the old saying "You get what you pay for."
Does this apply to GWS servos?
Do any of you have actual experience with these in a giant scale plane?
I have to ask because of the prices I see.
Thanks

I hope you are not talking GWS micros. Those I have used. They are great with the micro planes, but I have not seen anything larger that they make. They are great little servos, if they make big ones, I would think they would be a good servo as well. Don't know that I would put them in a giant scale though. I tend to like to use a servo that I know well in a large plane.

I don't have personal experience with them (yet), but some of them have impressive specs:

Make sure you check the speeds as well. They have some 100oz/in servos real cheap, but slow.

Thanks guys,
Flyboy...micro's??


The speeds/torque indicated tell me if I used the right combonation of servos offered,I will have plenty and with good speed.I can use more than one servo so I am not limited to that 100oz servo.
Anyone with actual experience with these in Giant scale would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I was only familiar with their tiny servos. Didn't realize they were making these. I just looked at the heavy duty servos, but they are pretty slow. After I started using the really fast servos, I really notice the slow ones in my planes. I put .11 Sec servos in my heli and WOW, what a diff. Now it seems like the servos in most of my planes are slower than heck.

Looks like fairly good stuff though.

Were you looking at the Heavy Duty servos? The Standard 100 oz/in are real slow, but the HD are much better, particularily the S777 series.

I have used this one on 1/4 scale....

it is so fast on 6v you can't see it...

only down side is there is a crappy warranty on all gws servos....I believe it's only 90 days...i never had a problem with the s 15 ' s that i have owned but I did have a tiny one on throttle that i shook to death after about 6 months use.....

I was told that the reason the gws servos are quite a bit less than hitech is because hitec has a 2 year warranty and that is what you are paying for....gws=virtually no warranty

Those prices are awfully tempting.
I have yet to see these in action.
There are many to choose from with so many different specs.
I hope to hear more things about them.
Thank you
