Default RE: Servo torque question II

One thing to remember, is that most of the Byron planes were designed in a time when none of todays high torqure servos were around. About the strongest at the time was a Kraft servo, which Byron used in most of their planes, and it wqas only 45-48 oz-in in torque. This was the servo they recommended. I had at least 6-7 Byron planes, all using Kraft 45 oz-in servos, and never had any issues with not enough servo torque. BTW, these servos were plastic geared, and we ususally only used 1 on each function. I guess we just didn't know as much then as we do now.
