I heared that FMAs are good, I can see that they are more powerful, faster and cheaper than the 9202s. I am looking at the FMA S3501, S3551, and the S3601.
I have good news and bad news.

The good news - these servos ROCK. I first tried a set two years ago in an ARF warbird - 3501Ms on ailerons and elevator and a 3601M on the rudder, using a regular 4-cell pack. They are *very* fast, *very* precise. I was so impressed with their performance and price that I've equipped most of my high-performance aircraft with them on the critical surfaces. Twelve servos, two years of service, zero failures.

The bad news - FMA has discontinued all the excellent Standard series servos.

Bugger.

I still have either five or six of the 3501Ms, unsed. These will be going into my 1/4-scale Cap.

If Sal @ NESAIL still has these in stock, buy them!
