Thanks for the info, Vanman and sorry to hear about such a wicked time for your UCD! Yep, I thought and thought and thought about the servo choice. Reliability of servos, weight of servos, cost, and weight of battery. I finally decided to go this route and hope all will work fine. I read some 6v flight times somewhere around here that didn't seem too bad. Hope that's the case. If not, assuming all is in tact, maybe there will be some changin' going on.
