Default RE: new to 3d - questioning servo types?

I disagree about the servo strength needed on a Funtana. The ELEV and Rudder are fine with 60-70oz. The AILE needs more. I have the new Futaba 3305s all the way around. They are 90oz at 4.8v. When I had 9101s on it the roll rate would get slower over half throttle. The 60oz of torque would not push that big AILE to full deflection with any airspeed. I only run a 4" pitch prop so I know it's not over speed. I would also highly recommend ball links on the servo end with metal clevises on the control arm end. A little bit of play on a 4" control surface makes for a lot of play at the TE.
