I recommend the servos your chose...I'm currently running the 9411's on my wings the 8417 on the elevator...( I like a quick elevator servo in the snaps) and the 8411SA on the rudder...

The 8411SA is becoming a standard servo for us pattern guys.....its lasts a long time before servicing and have tremendous power and speed. I know many that are using this servo all around.

IMHO and I know everybody has one......the faster and stronger the better. The 9411's are great aileron servos. Yes your doing a 90 size plane but I challenge anyone to put a stronger servo on the wings and then pull a corner. The stronger servos will hold the ailerons better and if the wings are level and the plane is properly trimmed it will loop straighter. Also take the Pepsi challenge with the analog servos in the snaps compared to the digitals....You will never fly another pattern plane on analog servos again. I promise you it is like night and day.

Yes a lesser servo will move the control surface. The 9202 Futaba is in the 60oz range and analog. They are good servos, precise and work well....but they don't hold a candle to the digitals. They compare pretty close to a JR 4131 (except the 4131 has more power) and I use those for throttle now.

I like a good servo on the throttle but don't have a use for the 4131's on flying surfaces any longer. The digitals just out perform them all the way.

Another good combo is the 8231's all around and perhaps a 8411SA on the rudder....These are excellent servos a little slower...but have a good life span and don't suck the juice as bad.

My experience is about 15%-20% more with 6V....on the JR servos many of the Futaba servos don't like 6V and recommend only 4.8V.


I'm running my stuff on 4.8V and like it....The 6V is good but I don't think its needed...If you are using analogs then by all means 6V all the way.


Good Luck
