LOL, I got one jet buddy, who all he as are Turnigy servos, (except a few JR8711 in the elvator of his F16)

I have bought a few planes off this guy, and he has been flying turbines longer than anyone at our feild, and he loves his Turnigy servos.

I was building a falcon 120 as he has had 3, with his last with over 300 flights according to his logs and he was useing http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=14830

So I built mine useing the same, I figured why not, and so far 30 flight, they are amazing, Very quick and strong, I can tell the diffrance in the air, as I had orginaly built my Falcon useing hitec 645 but I wanted to put them in a war bird, so I swaped them out.

I don't care much about the falcon, but it dose put one in a odd place, as I just picked up a sweet Carf Rooki 2 from him, but it has 4 turnigy servos in the wing that I have done some resurch online about and they dont seem to have the best history. SO I wanted to replace them but I cant find a servo in the 180oz range as fast as these servos in the link above. (Im hopeing to 3d this one with a P120 so I want fast servos to work better with a gyro)

Im stuck, I really dont like Hitec except for 645mg, but I love Savox (or Spectrum 6030 wich is a Savox)

But a Savox servo in this oz rang and speed is going to cost me $75 X4 $300
Or I can get 2 Larger 400oz fast savox for $75 X2 $150 and glue the elevons togeather, (alot of peaple do, and im thinking of it to save weight)
Or get the above Turnigy servos $32 X4 = $128 and keep the install as it already is.

While most say building a trubine is not part of this hobbie one should try to save $$$ in, Its hard to spend more than you need to..
