Default RE: Servo suggestions for 28% WH Edge

ORIGINAL: NE0

Getting ready to start putting my Edge together, but still need to order servos. This is my first giant scale 3D plane, so I don't know too much about what I'll need.

I usually stick to Hitec servos, and would like to keep my cost under $400 if possible. I imagine I'll need some fast, high-torque digitals... not sure which ones? Also, I don't want to overkill the issue and buy more than I really will need. Ideas?

Thanks,

Tom
Hitec 5645s are good but do not have the best centering. The 5945s are excellent in all respects.

If you buy 4 5945s, a JR 8611 and a 3" Airwild arm from us the bill is $435, and that's a top of the line setup. Use a 5735 instead of the 8611 and the cost comes down to $405. Same torque but a little heavier.
