I pulled the trigger on the remainder of the servos yesterday. Hobby King had a sale on most items. I was surprised to find these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...0_14s_74g.html for $64 each. I got 5 plus 3 - 1 1/4" single and 1 - 3.6" double aluminum arms shipped for $359.
I had previously purchased two of these for evaluation. I could find no reason not to buy more. I ran both on the bench using the servo function on the radio transmitter, no problems, heated up 10f after a hour. The lash measured .010" at 1 1/4", feels like a Hitec 7955. Attempted to measure the torque but my 16# spring scale ran out of travel, I need to borrow a friends 50# digital. I ganged both together and ran them over the entire travel range, could stop anywhere and the current would drop to zero.
I will feel better when I get a few flights on however. I felt the same why when I switched to Hitec 5945's in 2002, they stood up to the task, I hope these do the same.
