Yes little vag on info on my end, been overwhelming with options beyond the main 3 I knew JR, futaba, hitec. I ran hitec 5475 plastic gear on everything but rudder and never had a failure and wasn’t gentle on Funtana90. 5475 calmed a weight of 39g but reality 44g, and was recommend servo from very experience flyer I flew with and knew how I flew flip 3D airframe anyway fast forward today and if I don’t run metal gear across the board and don’t run the hitec 645mg or similar I will lose airframe, which are heavy metal gear servos. 200+ flights on plastic gear says different tho. I’m big on not adding unnecessary weight and jeopardizing how it flys. I’m also big on preflight checks so over building airframe with more and more torque and bulletproof everything to fly a tank around. No matter what setup I use there will always be a level of uncertainty involved and fine with that to have good flying airframe.
