Default Faster servos on aileron or elevator?

I have a set of (the old) FMA coreless servos in my .40-size Modeltech ME-109. .12 transit time, 100+ oz/in of torque, etc. Ridiculous for such a small plane.

But!!! The controls respond *right now* and are accurate. Precision aerobatics are , well, presice. Snaps, spins, tumbles, etc. stop and start exactly on demand, no over-rotating.

Because of thse servos I've learned that speed and precision *do* make a difference in th right airframe. No more mediocre servos in performance planes for me - everything I have now is either coreless or digital. Or both.

Hmm. I haven't had the 109 out for a while. I think I'll add it to this weekend's flight roster
