Default RE: Servo (what to use)


ORIGINAL: Gray Beard

too many people seem to feel it's the only way to go with servos, nice they be but don't buy into the hype!!
I couldn't agree more.

For MANY years we used a single ailreon servo on 60-size sport and pattern planes. Now people feel that you must use one servo per aileron even on a 40-size plane.

The manufacturer's want you to think that because:

1 - It's easier to buld an ARF without aileron torque rods
2 - They can sell you an extra servo.

Now, granted, if you're flying 3D or really high-performance stuff, you may want the extra oomph, but for sport planes? Naw.
