Thanks AQ...

You're right about the servo speed also...

It just seems like there are so many fliers who "just putter around the sky" with the big, high-dollar servos... and do loops and rolls and an occasional split-ess ...

I would think that they would benefit $$$-wise from less of a servo...

By the way, do you know any guideline or "rule of thumb" for determing the "required" servo torque for a specific control surface...???

If the manufacturer of a plane doesn't recommend anything ... how would you select a servo other than by gear-train and speed....????

Thanks
