A few questions now.
In the manual it states servos with a minimum of 11KG required? Thats about 388 ounces. Seems awfully excessive not so much for the stabs and rudder, but for the ailerons? However it also states that an 8411 or 8711 may be used???
Theres a big difference in strength between the 8411 advertised at 155oz and the 8711 at over 400oz?
I have some 8411s that i was planning on using for the ailerons as well as some futaba 9156s and savox 1258TG and 1256TGs..(I trust all of these equally, and they are all nearly identical in size) The only ones I was planning on having to purchase were some
8711s or 9157s for the elevators.
So why the large discrepancy in the servo torque requirement? just seems odd for as small as the ailerons are and as little movement thats required of them. Dont get me wrong though Im all about "over building" the airplane. Better to not need it and have than need it and not have it..
