Default Servos

I dont have the seduction, but I have a topcap arf w/ YS 63.

I first put Hitec 225 non metal gears. on my rudder. and evelator. I got about 10 flights on my top cap, and I was doing some serious snaps, knifeedge loops. and into my 10th flight and I noticed my rudder wasn't responding.

so I landed quickly w/ no damage, and my rudder servo was stripped. luckily it didn't lock up in place.

So I wouldn't recommend 225's on the rudder of the seduction.

But my 225 on elevator has close to 60flights on it, and so far is working perfectly. So I think one on the elevator will do fine.

Back on my rudder. I replaced w/ a standard JR 517BB servo and now have about 50 flights on it w/ no problems.

I know guys, that have standard Hitec BB (the ones that cost about $14) on knifes, sudukois, and misc. funflys and have not had a problem.
