Next up is servo selection. If there is a better servo 's for jets thread to look at on RC U please let me know, but I see the manual recommends JR DS8411 and DS8711 servos. I imagine there is a business reason for this. I fly helicopters and I love Futaba BLS451 servos,they are very popular with the heli community, there is a more powerful version of the BLS451, the BLS452 (14kg 0.14 sec) with specs almost identical to the DS8411. I would like to use these all around on unregulated LiFe 6.6v. We don't need the speed of the BLS451 in this jet, we need the power of the BLS452. I have been running mine on LiFe for years. Any comments? Also, the DS8711 is a very different servo, with over twice the power it hardly seems interchangeable with the DS8411. The manual leads me to believe the DS8411/BLS452 power servo's can be used throughout. Why use the DS8711 then? Seems overkill in a jet where I would consider it a good choice for an IMAC plane.
Got my tanks yesterday, dreams coming true
