I'm a Futaba 18MZ radio guy, but I'm kind of partial to Hitec servos. That is not a hard-and-fast requirement if there is another brand I should consider.
Looking for servos the following functions:
Elevator
Rudder
Flaps
Ailerons
Nose Steering
I'm assuming some sort of a mid-range 'Sport Digital' servo would be appropriate?
Thanks for the input!
Pick you poison. All servos can fail. I try to get 15-30 minutes of power/movement on them via servo driver or with setting up plane. You don’t have to spend $150.00 + a servo to find a reliable accurate servo. Here are a few choices out of many.
